To Happy Valley on a windy April day, and we saw the effect that stronger winds have had on the trees there
It looks like they blew over some time ago and have been left in place, which is A GOOD THING and just one aspect of how well the Friends of Happy Valley are caring for the place…..

Some fallen wood has been used to make a most excellent den
We came across a Burying Beetle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burying_beetle who had got a bit lost and was on the concrete edging of the stream
So we carefully placed it back on the bank where it could bury to its heart’s content.
