Candy Stripes

I deemed it essential that we run the camper van over to Westonbirt today, where we then took our essential exercise. The Rhododendrons are coming out, and this specimen was delightful in her candy pink stripe outfit.

There has been a lot, a lot a lot, of ash tree felling in the woods, and it feels in places like a battleground - which I suppose it is. As we passed the acer tree in the extra, her dryad stepped out to greet us.

Then we got back to the camper van and I realised how essential it had been to give her a run. The back box had come apart from the rest of the exhaust. Relatively new, I guess it's rotted through from non-use.
