This week we welcomed the lovely Tom to the Ramblers Retreat family!

Tom has made a classic Apple Tart using only fresh, delicious and local apples. Perfect to lift your spirits in the rainy weather.

The only question left is, are you team custard or ice cream?! 🍏🍎

👻 Food as always great, pumpkins fab - but being told to jump in puddles by H, my wonderful gruffalo goddaughter was just the best 💗 #Halloween

We share with you all the sad loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We thank her for her dedication, lifetime of service and for bringing joy to so many of us over the years.

[Forestry England @ForestryEngland]

We are saddened at Forestry England by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our condolences are with The Royal Family. The nation’s forests are still open to the public during the period of national mourning so that they can provide a place for reflection and wellbeing.

News: #FalseAutumn leaf drop may feel like the season has been and gone, but typically only 20 percent of leaves are dropped early. There’s plenty left for a full autumnal display! The best is yet to come… 🍂 https://t.co/sLpINbx9AF
