in the woods








Walking through a wood called Scales Park near Nuthampstead – found a worn wooden sign 'MAIN RUNWAY' – remnant from an American airbase  during World War II – London's third airport was scheduled here before Stansted won the day – and this ancient oak lives on, muntjack graze and stoats run around



– and you can smell the autumn fungi as soon as you enter the wide grassy walkway through the trees



Rosa canina has been left to flourish at the edge of the wood


Live simply and wisely
Henry Miller
