The weather's certainly on the change, which is as it should be, although it makes it even more important that you grab any opportunities you get to get out into the woods and enjoy what moments of fair weather are afforded us. Periodically, from beyond clouds which threaten autumn showers, the sun breaks through and illuminates the stands of Burley Old enclosure. And, as it warms, the smells of autumns dampness intensify and fill your nostrils and senses. There's a strange comfort in seasonal smells, maybe they trigger genetic memories of a time when we were intimately connected to the land and really part of the natural world, when sights, sounds and smells were our clocks, calendars and maps.
