The last  part of the wander--across a field where the public pathway has been altered to accommodate some sort of farming enclosure but the original path  can soon be found once the wood is entered.But rapid growth is the reason many small tracks are increasingly  difficult to locate and negotiate here---especially in the Summer months .However, there are a few arrows about to help and soon the Flags and pinnacles of St James The Great Church can be seen appearing  from a canopy of green..The Yew tree as Magnificent as ever --over 1000 years old at least stands pride of place in the churchyard to keep the evil spirits away apparently.No time to go inside the church on this occasion but I have  videoed many times over the years---I briskly walk thru the village of Winscombe to catch my bus home.My Smart phone First Bus APP shows me exactly where the bus is on its route so no panic on this occasion....It has been a good wander--loads of fresh air and exercise and healing of any unsettled parts of mind and body----It will be a good hour before  I actually get home because I needed to do some shopping and then a 20 minute walk .
