Blueledge

A barren plot of land. 

The place in which it stood.

Once a thing of beauty, 

now a piece of wood.

    It is so sad that woods are being destroyed Blueledge.

    Especially ancient woodland. It's been there for hundreds of years and is still healthy. Once it's gone replanting doesn't bring it back.

    There are centuries old trees and forests that are now laid waste. And quite rightly, reforestation is no replacement.

    We are so shortsighted at times.

    meaningful words like these
    are worth more than any activist's
    traffic disturbing, antics..
    thanks for sharing
