Sunlight through a lime canopy. The lime (Tilia) is the tallest broad-leaved tree in the British Isles, and the fine-grained wood is prized in the construction of musical instruments. The stringy bark was used in the past to make rope and mats.

Walk through the woodland
The heat over the last few days has been so intense (temperatures in the eighties) that ordinary routines become disrupted, and the main concern is to keep in the shade. To make this situation even more difficult, since Friday I have had a chill and sometimes find myself struggling to breathe (nights are the worst). On the hottest evenings it’s nice to get out of the city and go home and walk through the woodland on the escarpment, pursuing my hobby of studying and recording the flora of the county’s upland (another of the many interests I have that never seem to lead to anything).
