Falling water, quiet roads and way through the woods.
1. Sitting in the sun listening to the sound of a fountain.
2. Driving home along A-roads. We went through Dorking and Reigate, which both have high streets that are a jumble of chain stores and independent shops. And we passed a cricket match being watched by families whose children were paddling in a stream. We saw a carving made from a dead tree; and a quote from that mysterious poem about the traveller by Walter de La Mare.
3. A walk that goes across the old railway line. I always feel a bit strange crossing it -- it shows how quickly nature reclaims things because unless you look carefully and spot things in the woods like a few bits of railway stone, and a couple of railway sleeper fence posts, you'd never know that a railway ran through these fields.

1. Bushes laden with massive sloes. All set for sloe gin!
ReplyDelete2. Doing some DIY at a friend's house, some modern plaster fell away to reveal horsehair mixed in with the original lime plaster.
3. Meeting a real life Tim Nice-But-Dim in a pub. You couldn't script these things!
4. (or is it 7?). Walking the high road (what's it called) in Paris - the old overhead train tracks now covered in green and flowers. Sitting above the crowds and noise and enjoying the bees.
