A beautiful day with bright blue skies when we got up yesterday, so we decided to skive off and drive the 20+ miles to Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury in the Cotswolds.

It’s now looked after by the Forestry Commission but was originally planted in the Victorian period by a wealthy collector of trees from around the world.

Here are a selection of photos of our invigorating walk. It certainly took the mind away from the humming background of the news and cleared the brain as well as the sinuses with the sharp air!

Giant Redwoods:

Maple grove:

Persian Ironwood and leaves:

I could bore you with lots more photos but I hope you enjoy the feeling of Autumn’s arrival here!
