Stumped!

Stumped!

We visited some friends yesterday who live in the village of Great Hallingbury on the edge of Hatfield Forest both of which are in Essex – but only just and both are very close to the border with Hertfordshire and quite close to the M11 and Stansted Airport. In spite of their proximity to the motorway and the airport it was very quiet.

Hatfield Forest is one of those places we’ve been frequently threatening to explore but haven’t yet.

I took this picture about a hundred yards from our friends’ house because the old tree stump was so well lit.

Perhaps we’ll do that exploring later this year.

  1. The son of our friend, who must now be in his fifties, told us that when they first moved here he and his younger brother were quite young. They went out to play on the green and some curious cows started to approach them.

    The eldest of the two ran away but his younger brother climbed onto the stump and, apparently, was pointing his toy pistol at the cows and shouting ‘Bang Bang Go away’ which of course they didn’t. :smile:

    He was rescued, we were told, by a neighbour. :wink:
