Apart from last week's bleak trip to Weston for a vaccination, we've been confined to Bristol. (No surprises there.) But there have been a few bright days, and a couple of them coincidied with rather less busy schedules and we were able to get out for a walk. So here's some photos of Ashton Court and Arnos Vale Cemetery, the former famed for its magnificent trees.

The Fattest Oak - 700 years old and a girth of 27 feet
Velvet shanks
Arnos Vale was the most crowded I'd ever seen it - and very noisy. Poor pup Cwtch was quite alarmed by all the barking dogs. I wonder what the residents make of lockdown.
My grandparents' grave being displaced by an ash tree ...
... many of which are being felled as a result of ash dieback
Steep, stony and muddy
In the winter you can see the graves down in the vale, which disappear into shadow in summer.
