The last three weeks have been manic. Angela had the remains of her broken tooth extracted, then she contracted COVID and was very unwell for over a week, which meant she couldn't help John clean and decorate our bungalow in readiness for new tenants. But as always, everything just happens and as a reward we are taking Margery away for four nights.
So here we are, in the stunningly beautiful New Forest. Autumn is one of our favourite seasons to walk in the forest. The crowds of summer long gone, quieter more genteel folk are here, and us! Only one forest campsite is open all year, it has no facilities, which doesn't bother us, we have our sink and trusty boxio loo.
John as you know is keen on foraging mushrooms, and within five minutes of siting Margery he discovered a large Cep or Penny Bun plus a Hedgehog mushroom. They'll be in tomorrow's omelette!
What's great about the new forest is you can just park up and walk out, which is just what we did this afternoon. There's something peaceful about wandering amongst the trees.
Our life is busy at the moment, but we always find time to get away, and are already planning next year's trips. We are very conscious that you must 'go for it' in life and not leave plans until later. Later is not guaranteed!
