We took the decision to have a break once the lock- Page down began and we realised that it would be very difficult for our distribution to happen in its normal way.

Sienna Garland wrote the poem on the next page early on in the lock- down. It was part of her home school work about her favourite place, the woods on the farm.

A paradise of carpets of flowers, mossy blankets on trees and webs of interwoven brambles that dingle dangle off arched branches. A cosy peaceful nest up high away from everyone in the busy world.
