Taking daily exercise is currently one of our permitted reasons for leaving home in this time of lockdown, and it seems as though increasing numbers of people are taking exercise. On a recent local trip to combine delivering thyme plants with local exercise it felt very much as though we have adopted passeggiata here in Swindon, although with the difference that we're not out to socialise. There is a friendliness between people and a strict crossing over onto the other side of the road when you see people being well observed. However it's easier to walk in a large open space like Broome Manor Golf club which is stunningly beautiful, and usually very dangerous to walk around unless playing a game of golf.
Walking towards one of the holes, the greens are being kept immaculate, ready for when it's possible to play again
Gorse from a distance and below just about to flower, it usually grows on acid soil.
Tim wanted a photograph of the green with the trees on the left, and he's included in the photo
I've been having discussions with grandchildren via messenger about the ownership of holes in Croft woods, and here is another hole, badgers or foxes? I think this is a fox hole because it's too small for a badger
then I saw these holes in a bunker, they look like rabbit holes, so maybe the other one is a rabbit hole?
I noticed this sculpture by the club house, apparently there was one at the entrance to the club which has been removed. It's rather good, hard to see here, but it depicts a ball on a tee on top of a large column.
Coming back through Croft Wood was fantastic, the bluebells were just about to come out, they will be fully out very soon.
there are also some patches of wood anenomes.
Must take another trip to Croft Wood and check out the bluebells soon.
