Marbury Woods

Nice walk around Marbury Woods this morning looking at the trees and leaves and twigs. Communing with nature. Nice new bench where the old rotten one used to be. Good that this one is straight and not sloping like the one in the Crooked House at Peter Pan's Playground in Southend. Found a new set of steps and gravelly bit with grotto - a limpid pool nearby. Along the mere to observe the swans and ducks etc. A bit nippy but not as bad as the recent chill. Afterwards we went to Granma and Audrey's for coffee and a chat. Sorted some junk they wished to be sent to the charity emporium.
