To see the beech trees hung with, er, green.

It's not that I didn't have a lovely walk through Wytham woods. Although the bluebells were not really out, and the trees were showing that it is in fact still quite early in the year, there were primroses and cowslips, red kites, and little lambs. It's just that I didn't mean to walk about fourteen miles. The main reason for this is that I didn't realise it was five miles to the car park. Still, it was very pleasant, and next time I'll drive to the car park and save the fourteen mile walks for occasions where I'm not on tarmac most of the time. Anyway, it was sunny and warm, with a slightly cool breeze, hazy sky, and altogether a very Housman-like day.
