Part 2 Paths between Fingest and Turville

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

Psalm 103: 8

Today 20 April 2024 we lead a walk we took 25 February 2024. Paths between Fingest and Turville. Press on it if you would like to see it then.

Our walk started at the unique Norman church of St Bartholomew Fingst. What is most striking  is the 12 th century tower with  a double gable saddleback roof. It is one of only two here in England.

Walking the paths beyond the church the difference was remarkable. The sheep and their lamb’s are now in the grass fields and the trees are less bare. We also noticed a large area of new trees in their cages well supported while others had lost their grip on the chalk land slopes a while back.

It is noticeable how some trees are heavy in leaf while others are still pink with shoots not green yet.
Young trees in rows with cages and well staked.
Trees that at some point had lost their grip on the chalk.

Here are a few sheep puns:

What is a sheep’s ultimate goal?

To wool the world.

Why was the lamb hiding from everyone?

It was feeling sheepish.

What did the sheep parent say to the lamb?

It’s pasture bedtime.

Take  care,

Sandy 🙂
