An invitation to tea - Overhall Grove

Overhall Grove, the largest elm woodland in Cambridgeshire. When I once asked a friend her favourite season, she said the beginning of each season and I have to agree. We are in the midst of going from winter to summer, the sun is shining again, the daffodils are first, there are green buds on the trees and you can see spring around the corner. The woodland is the site of a medieval house and moat, which is now home to a badger family. Alas no badgers out at the time but a very pleasant walk. However, there was only one circular walk, and one footpath but still nice. The best bit was that we were alone.

To get to the woods you park in the church car park and walk down the public footpath. It looks like you are walking in someones garden. We were greeted by someone gardening in the church yard, that looked like Father Christmas, and he invited us into the church for a cup of tea! Oh I do love the countryside.
