Happy #Winter #Solstice!

This is my second winter living on the edge of Lion Wood. Tough very small, it is designated ancient woodland, legal jargon indicating that #trees have been growing here for centuries. There are certainly some big old ones.

I've never felt the myth of the Oak King and the Holly King as strongly as I do here. In winter, the oaks, beeches, birches and sycamores lose their leaves, and the major source of green is #holly.
