I needed some green therapy today and the fluffy one would have melted if we’d gone to the beach so we headed to the woods.
I wasn’t quite expecting it still to be this green. The canopy has fully closed in and it wraps you in a gentle green haze. The ancient beeches create an aisle, ushering you down their tunnel.
After a while, I had tuned in and slowed down. The fairies (aka flies) dance in the sunbeams and the butterflies have their territorial battles just above the undergrowth.
I consider which trees to hug, you have to hug trees! Some just ask to be gazed at, marvelling at their limbs reaching, twisting up to the sky, giving me a crick in my neck.
One, unseen by the others hurrying past, shows it’s face. Slightly menacing? Or is that just me?
The other face I found definitely brought a smile to my face, pleased that others, possibly children are enjoying and connecting with this wonderful place.
