Lodge Farm Routes

When we arrived at Lodge Farm after lunch it was heaving and I couldn't understand why. One of the reasons that I like it there is because Ollie dog and I often have it to ourselves. 

The first people we spoke to said that the farmer's daughter had been serving cakes and drinks for three days only from the barn where weddings and events are held. This finished at 3:00 pm so we were too late to check it out. It was obviously very popular and a sign had been put up to show walking routes. 

It will be lovely for people if this continues once lockdown is eased but for me the open and quiet nature of the place will be lost. :(

I shot the long-tailed-tit on the bank of the lake this morning.
