Today I had a magical walk with Belinda in Harridge Woods, a Somerset Wildlife Nature Reserve. It was an assault on all the senses.
Our eyes were treated to the early morning sunlight filtering through the trees onto lush greenery and carpets of wild garlic, which could also be detected by the pungent smell! As we walked down into the bottom of the wooded valley, there was the sound of birdsong and gushing water from the fast flowing Mells River.
Belinda and I try to time our walks in these beautiful woods to coincide with the wild garlic season, as it is a wondrous sight. We couldn't stop taking photographs! We also picked a few leaves to take home to add to our cooking!
Finally, being in the woods with magnificent tall trees and dappled sunlight was like being in a natural cathedral - wonderful for my sense of well-being and good for the soul...
