I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Still here

 

I’m still here.  Haven’t gone off on another adventure (yet) but instead, have been taking every opportunity to get out and about and enjoy the marvellous Spring weather we’ve been having.  there’s nothing like going to some far flung place to make me appreciate how much I love being in England!

Yesterday was just the kind of day I enjoy.  Some work took me out through the most glorious countryside in the early morning and I timed it specially so that I could drop into a favourite place on the way.  The light was perfect for capturing those fresh Spring greens.  Mary, I missed you!

A little further along the way, I happened to drive along this elevated section of road which had the most amazing hedgerow.  Full of blossom, I regretted the fact that I had a white transit van behind me and just had to keep going, because there wasn’t anywhere to stop.  My reward came later, on the way home in the late afternoon.  Though the light wasn’t as good, I was the only car in sight, so simply pulled over and got the camera out.

No time to stand and stare, but simply driving through such surroundings lifts the spirit and makes me thankful.

If you are curious, I was here, on my way to Stow on the Wold from Great Rollright, looking northwest.
