I feel the gentle breeze in my hair and I feel alive and ready to explore a little bit--I am making my way to Compton Bishop Village and the church of St Andrews to rest and have a picnic and admire the beautiful little church, graveyard and enjoy the peace and tranquillity....Its all downhill to the village so I decide to follow a different track or cantoc which will take me  thru much shrubbery and wild gorse BUT I have never pursued this way before and its very steep going down here--I notice lots and lots of spiders nests and webs, little paths used by  small animals .....a place where the odd Adder may lurk and come out to sunbathe on such a warm day------the undergrowth starts to get more dense, thicker and thicker, brambly, spiky--I have  shorts on so I feel the plants brushing up against my legs , less space--occasionally the  path even disappears and then re-emerges but I continue  ...............….so far so good...…….
