Poole, Dorset

As we drove back south we noticed the trees, shrubs and flowers were all much advanced compared to those in Scotland. And it felt warmer, even when it rained. It's just over four weeks since we left home and places like the island of Lewis and Harris seem like they were a dream. 


To break our journey we stopped to visit some relatives before a stop at Oxf
ord to check out a dead tree that John was hoping would have a chicken of the woods fungi growing on it. It didn't, but the one behind did.




Result. It was nice to once again be by the river in Oxford, we missed the beauty of this area. 

Home now. Marge looking well travelled, in need of a good clean, we reflect on the past few days. Yesterday, we sadly lost another, younger member of our family. There are some people in life you are privileged to have known. And she was one.

The forecast for the weekend is looking good. If it remains so, we might just take Marge away to the New Forest. Now we live in Poole, we are lucky to have this wonderful space on our doorstep.
