Yes, nice writing Nigel, especially (and appropriately) this passage -

"I find myself a little conflicted on the best time to visit. To arrive in spring, when the cherry - "loveliest of trees" - flowers along the field margins and the copses thrill to the green woodpeckers' laughter, is fine; but I'm not sure I don't prefer the fire-colours of autumn, and the winds of the equinox: "On Wenlock Edge, the wood's in trouble."
