‘It was a late Summer’s day in 2007, we had been walking the dog back through *** at Chilworth, we were in a clearing, when I spotted what looked like a tree rushing across fields towards us, and as it crossed the path before us into the next field, I could see there was a friendly, smiling face in the bark. We both had the same experience and described it to each other the same way. It was about ten feet tall. The dog stopped and looked up at it too. Those woods are certainly atmospheric at certain times.’ ‘A small tree.’ ‘I believe it was a nature spirit, as both of us were highly tuned into the environment.’
