“Last Thursday, after having a bit of disappointing news and feeling rather flat, I decided to get out of the house and go Geocaching.

I thought I would just go and do a series of six Caches and then head home, but after finishing the six, I thought I would drive a different way home and a couple of cache’s popped up on my phone that were close to the road, and I took a detour just to have a look and see if they were a quick easy find.

I got the first two easily and drove a little way to the next. This cache was about fifteen metres off the road and down a slight bank. But here in the middle of a pine plantation in the middle of nowhere was a small plantation of Fagus Trees that were in full autumn colour.

Looking at the canopy of colour and the ground covered with leaves my mood lifted

God gives us beauty in nature to remind us of what’s important.”
