Sunset

There was a wonderful sunset as I was driving back to the village this evening. This is a view through a group of old oak trees, now marooned in a vast arable landscape. I have a copy of an 1876 map on which every tree is marked. They formed a wide avenue leading into an ancient wood called Wards Grove that is marked on an even earlier 1822 OS Surveyors map. That wood is long gone, replaced by arable fields, but the hedgerows still have a few of the lovely large oak and ash trees from that lost and forgotten wood.
