July 2011

It is, for all schools now, the end of term. Around the parkland, there is an end of term feel too. The plants and trees are at their zenith. There is no more growing and bursting forth to do. Seeds and fruit begin to form. Indeed the beech mast is there in great abundance. No doubt some weather sage will read something into it. All is ready and resting for the coming season of closing.

The flowers of foxgloves and rose bay willow herb are climbing up their respective spikes. The weather remains generally cool and dry, so little overall change is noticeable in the general parkland landscape, but it is all there in the detail, however - seeds and fruits.

Much clearing has gone on. The ground around the Queen Anne monument and its drive ways have received a good clipping and from the Rotunda, many trees have been removed. It would be hard to tell that they were there.
