    On Sunday decided to take a stroll in the forest and had a great time. Almost no one around and lots of wildlife - birds, squirrels and lots of deer rushing across the paths in front of us :gnthb:.

    The Autumn leaves were already dropping

    But the sunshine seemed to make it look like spring

    Out for a Sunday morning ride

    It wasn't just birds flying overhead

    The deer were curious but wary

    Thanks :gnthb:

    That is the northern part of Epping Forest which is owned by the City of London Corporation. Not a lot of people know that :hehe: :rotfl:
