Same As It Ever Was

This is a typical Chilterns view. Rolling hills, farmed valley's, with heavily wooded hill tops. These are ancient beech woods, with some infill planting of conifers. Although farming methods have changed over time, this sort of view has been constant in this area for hundreds of years.

There are many signs that spring is on it's way, despite the cold weather we have been experiencing in recent weeks. For me, the surest sign of springs arrival is when the lambs appear. This one was pictured on a farm at Piddington, near to West Wycombe. If you're in the area, they have a LambWalk, where you can see all the lambs and sheep on the farm.
