I like living here

Ok, it's pretty small. Tiny, even. A mobile home: 1 small bedroom, 1 small living room, kitchen, tiny bathroom, and a cubicle grandly named "the computer room".

But, like the estate agents love saying: location, location, location.
My home is sited right at the back, by the woods. I enjoy the quiet and solitude - and the wild life that comes visiting at times. This time of year, when the woods stir to life after the long winter slumber, is enchanted.

This is the view from my "computer room" window:





This time of year, lots of trees are in flower. The flowering tree in the first photo above is a wild cherry. The second photograph is of a branch of another wild cherry.


At the back of my little plot, there's a bridleway which forms part of the network of footpaths and bridleways known as The North Downs Way. It's lined with trees on both sides, some of them sycamores. I like those tender sycamore leaves in the spring - the way light and shadow play through them.
