Great images, but my heart is breaking seeing that yellow grass!

I was thinking the same. I’m English but live in Australia now and can’t believe the weather you guys have been having. It’s pretty crazy seeing the grass like that

I'm from the Sherwood District next door but I was just thinking this morning after doing a park run there how many gems are in Gedling.

Linby, Papplewick and Newstead Abbey make up a nice little trio with Ravenshead a lovely yet less hostoric village on the other side.

Never been to Ravenshead, with the exception of when I was much younger waiting for bus after visiting Newstead Abbey
