Back from Glastonbury, Geoff and I went for a wander in the forest, pausing a while to mark Beltane at a favourite spot on the bank of Red Rise Brook. All about the forest is coming to life, numerous small flowers bejewel it's woodland floors and one of the most attractive is the delicate and subtly coloured Wood Sorrel (Oxalis acetosella). Emerging from the mossy floor, opening and closing as the intensity of light dictates, and indicator of an ancient woodland, Wood Sorrel is common amongst the forest's stands.
