Happiness is….An unexpected house guest.

He may be waking me up at 5am with his nocturnal shenanigans but this beauty is welcome any time.

After a heavy night on the tiles it’s time to snooze away a winters day.

Happiness is…A walk in the woods in spring.

Enjoyed a wander in Earley Wood near Petham with my gang of volunteers from the Kentish Stour Countryside Partnership this week.
