Deeper into the woods at Keele and there's a clearing that reminded me a little of a scene from the Blair Witch Project. Being a sunny day in June, it wasn't particularly spooky. But I wouldn't like walk through here late in the afternoon in November. Not with my imagination.

At this point, I believe I'm supposed to embrace my inner Finbarr Saunders (thank you, Viz comic) and say, this isn't the first time I've used a toy to send a pushy to heaven and it won't be the last. Or something like that.

Oh, and the M6 rumbling along a few hundred metres away 🙂🙃
Looking across Lake 5, where I turned and started to head back to Keele Hall.
The fourth of the five lakes as you make your way through the woodland walk at Keele.
As I walked further into the woods, I encountered some big waterlilies (I think that's what they were).
This particular part of the walk has an almost prehistoric feel to it. Well, at least in MY mind it does 😊

If anyone would like to see a photo of a zebra, crossing, then this is your lucky day.
Pretty little waterfall feeding into the first lake as you head into the woods at Keele.
After an hour wandering about in the beautiful woodland, I made it back along the eastern side of the five main woodland lakes to where Keele Hall once more appeared before me, like an oasis of civilisation.
I so want to roly-poly down that lawn........
