Bit leaden-legged today so it was Walking-Quite-Slowly round the woods on yet another stunning Spring morning. So much brilliant green still, especially the birch trees and the curtains of larch hanging over the paths.

Despite the fresh easterly breeze on the tops of the fields it was so calm, warm and peaceful in the woods I could have sat there all day.

As it was I did linger for a few minutes listening to a whitethroat, singing its heart out as it swung back and forth at the top of a tree like a cabin boy at the top of a tall ship`s mast.

Oh yes,of course, that`s why I don`t have a radio with me...........
