The UK was once nearly completely forested, legend has it that a red squirrel could hop from tree to tree from Nottingham forest to Lands End. By 1066 many of our fantastic forests were destroyed for war efforts and construction. The First World War saw another blow to our forests as they were chopped down in their masses to build trenches in Europe as well as increased land use for agriculture. Exmoor was once a Royal forest reserved for the kings deer hunting pursuits. Few pockets of native ancient woodland remain in this country and in the rest of Europe as well. It is thought that 8000 years ago the whole of Exmoor Park was covered in native Oak trees. Exmoor has over 1500 recorded ancient native trees and still counting.
Haddon woods are a stunning native Oak and Beech woodland that runs alongside the river Haddeo in the national park Exmoor. Haddon woods is a fantastic place for nature enthusiasts, the spring and summer seasons see fantastic floral displays of bluebells, foxgloves, primroses, early purple orchids and forget me knots as well as rare lichens and an assortment of edible and inedible fungi. The woods are also home to badgers, dormice, foxes, red deer as well as peregrine falcons, buzzards and kestrels. The Haddeo River is rich in trout, salmon and many stunning insects such as dragonflies and mayflies whose presence indicates the waters high quality.
It is said that no good Oak for construction is grown west of Exeter, Haddon woods is a fine example of the classic and stunning English Oak used for most of the housing and building many years ago. The Exmoor white horse inn is a perfect example of this fine timbers use, the floor boards of the inn were locally sourced from Haddon woods and are as good today as they ever were. This quality of timber and the use of native hardwoods have declined since the pockets of native woods are sparse and protected. This leads the way to the commercial pine plantations you will see dominating the countryside.
The Haddeo River comes through Wimbleball Lake a stunning area used for fishing, camping and water sports with stunning surroundings of native trees and wildlife. The river is wooded on both sides with Haddon woods one side and Storridge woods the other.
There are countless walking routes that can be tailored for different scenery and views. The beauty of Exmoor is that it has a perfect contrast of English countryside, stunning lakes, ancient woodlands, open heather moor land and jagged coastlines all of this accessible easily from anywhere within the park. Ancient British woodlands are a rarity and highly protected for there ecological value we should try our hardest to protect these areas and preserve this ancient relic of Exmoor national park.

Hello! It has been a long time between posts, hasn't it? I had taken some photos and planned to do some posts with them, but they were never really quite complete sets, if you know what I mean. Do you ever get that? bridesmaid dresses bridesmaid dresses
Today I am wearing, for the first time, strapless wedding dresses sort of, a blouse that used to be a dress. I say sort of because I wore the dress in its original state a few years ago long dresses , but I think I like it as a top much more. I never seem to have enough blouses and skirts, anyway, so I think this is a good use for a dress that simply didn't do it for me any more.

I have also decided to start wearing my hair up in rolls again. It's been ages, so I feel a bit out of practice! Not so much with the actual rolling, because that seems to be a skill you never really lose, kind of like riding a bike. What I feel rusty with is where to put rolls short wedding dress short wedding dress, which is something I felt I never fully got to grips with. What suits one person might not suit another! It's the fight between loving the big loops and swirls and rolls, wedding ball gowns and fearing making the impression of having a massive head. Practice makes perfect, though, so I have decided to do different updos everyday for a while. If you vintage-roll-wearing ladies have any suggestions on my roll placement, do drop me a line! I am always open to new tips and tricks, and to share them, in turn, as I learn and improve.

In what I think should really be in a separate post, I got me an absolute bounty of new make up the other day, sexy wedding dresses and have now had a chance to try it out and make sure I am not allergic to any of it – and I'm not; hooray! My booty included a blusher brush, which I have had on my really-must-buy-but-will-I-ever-actually-get-round-to-it list for eons. It makes putting on blusher much more fun and glamourous, dahlings, as well as easier. And I love blusher. I have had a few requests to do a blusher post, which I am going to do. The coral shade I wear seems to get the most tutorial request (well, ok, two that I can think of off the top of my head this month) and if there is anything else blusher related, do let me know so I can include it in my post! I apply my blusher in a number of different ways, capricious creature that I am, dresses for homecoming dresses for homecoming so it'll take me a while to get all the pictures together. It will be fun wedding dress , though!

And just how quickly does it feel like it's all getting a bit reader's wives when I do a stocking seam photo?! These are, in fact, seamed tights that ripped within the first hour of their first wear. The rip was in the side of the ugly knickers bit of the tights (attractive thought, yes?) and was caused by a metal zip, so I cut of the legs, keeping a good inch of the thicker meshy bit at the tops to work as a welt, to – hopefully – keep ladders at bay. So far, so good. Anyway, I prefer stockings, and I don't know how straight seams stay with tights, even with the hairspray trick. So this is a good compromise when contrast seamed stockings can't be found!
