The Sunny High Weald

When the weather forecast is for fog, it is a pleasure to be high enough in the High Weald to be able to look across the foggy Low Weald to Chanctonbury Hill, emerging from the fog line.

Save our Badgers

Contrary to all the scientific evidence, the government seems intent on needlessly culling badgers.  Please visit www.badgertrust.org.uk and www.Save-Me.org.uk to make your voice heard, if you no longer believe in outdated ideas like burning witches or culling badgers.

It is not just the larch family of conifers that are deciduous, above is the Dawn Redwood.

The most spectacular colour is the Swamp cypress

Here is another specimen.  Enjoy!
