A Spring Walk Near Duns Tew

We've had a few days of warm weather this week -- enough for the world to explode in green.  The sun and patches of blue in the sky have been a welcome change. I took a walk yesterday with a friend who lives in Duns Tew. It was wonderful to see the leaves bursting forth on the trees, the crops planted in the fields. and the lambs napping in the sun. Today we are back to grey and cold but at least now I know now it won't last long - Spring really is here.



The stone wall in this picture is a ha-ha!  It is a feature used in landscape garden design to keep grazing livestock out of a garden while providing an uninterrupted view from within. It is called a ha-ha because when people inadvertently fall over the wall when not looking, it is supposed to be funny.  Ha ha! 
Here is the ha ha in front of the Manor House.
