A wonderful run on minor roads up towards Highclere Castle (AKA Downton Abbey) to meet a pal for a socially distanced walk in the country.

Parked in front of a glorious English Ash tree, next to a delightful cottage that was, I'm told a pre black death ale house and bakery.
It is now a rather nice rural retreat for some lucky person!
Not visible in the tree is a resident Peacock.. handsome but noisy.

As Tarka has a fair amount of Ash hidden under the skin I thought it was a rather appropriate photo!
