I love the beech avenue near Kingston Lacy. Stunning in every season of the year.<br /><br />It was partly my love of Hardy`s Wessex that drew us back to this area.

And very nostalgic for me - I always knew I was nearing my grandpy's home near Wimborne when we passed through the avenue of beeches on our way from Wales to our summer holidays in Dorset. I still see the avenue in my mind's eye (and now on your blog)...<br />I also visited Hardy's cottage when on a dig in Dorchester as a student. Your images are very "Hardy country".<br />So thanks for the lovely memories :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-30543197760336789432013-11-21T04:48:10.186+00:002013-11-21T04:48:10.186+00:00Nothing brightens my day quite like a post from yo...Nothing brightens my day quite like a post from your blog, thanks so much for that!
