This is the most photographed Tree in Cannock Chase Forest #AONB #treeEnts #lordoftherings #hobbit … in so many areas of the forest you actually feel a presence of Ents-you expect that they may just speak to you . It’s mesmerising ✨. #lifeintheshire #middleengland #tolkentrail #Groot 🌳🪵🍄‍🟫🍁🍃🦌

Over the last few days the Oak leaves have turned brown, so I’d say they will start dropping in the next week. I shall be glad when they are down and sorted. We’ve now got a wallflower in bloom #gardeningfeed #oakforest #cannockchase #middleengland #bloom #Novembersunshine

@jonathancoe.bsky.social Having cracked the code for the names of Sophie's dinner guests on the cruise ship I feel like I have won a Masquerade hare or something similar.
