In which, on a sunny morning after a night of rain, I visit two ponds near the Beaulieu River and walk through King's Hat Inclosure
In which I find wildflowers in the sunshine among the trees and heaths of Highland Water and Puckpits Inclosures and Withybed Bottom
In which I walk from Fordingbridge to Bickton and back again, among clouds of Cow Parley and buttercup-filled meadows
In which I walk through Roydon Woods Nature Reserve, and find my first Cuckoo, Swallow, and Bluebell carpet of 2022
In which I walk through water meadows alongside the Avon in the New Forest
In which I walk in the footsteps of New Forest smugglers, find some Water-crowfoot, and admire the pollarded Beeches of Ridley Wood
In which I find a mystical Beech grove and a musician's grave on a walk among spirit song
In which I pause under trees in the rain at the heart of Hasley Inclosure in the northern New Forest
