A Walk in the Park

A Walk in the Park


Almondell, the oasis in a sea of concrete
Ecosystems for all walks of life
Where ancient and contemporary meld
And nature blends with man

A tapestry of green, woven skilfully by Mother nature
Giant redwoods, to miniature Monkey puzzles
Feeding frenzies at the feeder
Buzzards circling on the thermals
Children screaming with ecstasy
All kinds of life are represented

Everyone something new
Snowdrops poking their heads above the snow
Sheltering from the belting rain
Wild garlic wafting its heady scent
The bouquet of Summer
Forget-me-nots cannot be overlooked
Nor the blaze of autumn colours


The Almond wends its weary way
Hiding the elusive Kingfisher
And the fisher folk
Woods high above, a myriad of layers for everything to explore
All the people, entwined in peace
Nothing can disturb its tranquillity or its splendour
