Out even earlier to #Royden this morning to beat the heat. Surrounding fields newly mown, silver birch turning, second flush of ferns. Coffee and carbs at Benty’s where the fairy party was in full swing. 🧚

A wooden fence runs alongside a narrow dirt path bordered by tall dry grass, with trees framing a sunny, partly cloudy sky over an open field. A dirt path winds through a grassy area with scattered wild plants and trees under a partly cloudy sky. A forest path covered with fallen leaves winds through tall trees with autumn foliage under a clear blue sky. A field of purple heather is surrounded by various grasses, bushes, and trees under a partly cloudy sky.
