A ramble

Lovely walk through the woods, are the trees budding there, I love to watch them each year clothed in spring greens
your boar looks contented?........

Beautiful woods to wander through, magical and mystical with a deer gently grazing - superb!
Nice to know there are still places that wild boar can live a life of sheer contentment - if the look on his face is anything to go by.
I would be irritating to have the garden 'ploughed' for you by wild boar, but I suppose if you know they are about you have to take care. Not much I can do about the rabbits, they don't pay much attention to a closed gate.
Talking to one of the gardeners at a local crematorium, where the gardens are kept beautifully, he told me that they had put netting 'rabbit-proof' fencing around the area, only to see one run up the sloping support post to leap the fence!

Trees are not quite there yet Pamg. Won't be long though..

The boar does look contented. Sad to say I think the locals - I took the pic when out with the dog, at the back of some gardens. - The day before I saw him out in the forest and when he saw me he came running; Not something they would naturally do. Unless, of course he was being fed and associated people and food. During the last round of culling in the forest the boar in question suddenly vanished. It is an ongoing, long drawn-out topic hereabouts. - How to 'manage' the boar. Sadly, no money is ever available to produce an answer. Politics and forestry management have got themselves in a knot over it.
Defra, the Forestry Commission, local Councils et al. All pointing the finger at each other....
I'll stop there. lol. This is not really a gardening thing.

Honeysuckle: I love the rabbit tale. Made me chuckle. Reminded me of when I worked in a hospital and a squirrel got into the canteen... Mayhem and madness followed. :) The squirrel escaped, unharmed.

BTW
In the pics above there is one of some Cyclamen growing through the leaf litter. I think it arrived there because its location is, shall we say, often used by people who think it ok to dump rubbish in odd locations. I know I have a word for such people. You may have your own....
Just out of shot there is a rather nice clump of daffodils that once graced somebody's house.
:)

Great blog F'cat, lovely walk for you and the dog, I take a ride around the countryside 3days a week and its grand to see the buds forming getting ready to burst open, along the route we drive theres hundreds of daffodils which admittedly look lovely but some are miles away from the villages so I guess they were someones garden waste in the past......Can't think the council would have forked out the money to plant them in the middle of nowhere..

I suppose it is a sort of urban-gardening lincs. :)
