Where's Pathy?

Where's pathy? It's like 'Where's Wally?', but with paths. It's a fun (or tedious) game for all the family round these parts. I was wandering Resource Woods (real name Great Woar Copse, know by us as Resource Woods due to the high number of resources available), and following a well used path, when all of a sudden the path had vanished. It had simply ceased to be. I found myself adrift in proper bog woodland.

Wood Anemone

With Spring proper comes a noticeable increase in flowers, an environment in which that's most apparent is woodland. Resource Woods, a part neglected Hazel copse, is our local Bluebell wood; you know, there'll be a wood near you that you know is the place to go see a proper Bluebell show. Although before that the Wood Anemone's (Anemone nemorosa) reign. A woodland blessed with an abundance is a beautiful scene to behold, that's all, mind, as the Wood Anemone is pretty toxic to man and beast. Like Bluebells or Ramsons, they're a good sign that the woodland is old, especially when found on mass.

Bluebells

Well over half of Resource Woods (not its real name, rather the name I gave it due to the wide range of natural resources to be found in it) remains carpeted in bluebells; a really lovely sight to behold as well as making for a magical walk. The woods are on the edge of town and yet they hold an ability to make you feel you could be miles away from anywhere; which in todays all too frenetic world, is welcomed.
