Saturday – I returned on Thursday and this paragraph is written on Saturday 20th April. I find the first day back after a holiday, long or short, it’s horrible because I don’t know where I am. I feel I’m between two universes and that’s on a good day. However today Saturday dawned bright and sunny so we are doing our usual boring household tasks such as cleaning, washing, tidying, doing the garden and all those things that you can’t delegate to anybody else.
Sunday – We decided to go for a walk in a part of the countryside that has never been cultivated due to its nature. The last attempt at making anything of it was in Roman times when there was some smelting for iron. If you stop to look, nature is wondrous in its variety and form. The following pictures shows something of this.
a reflection of water in a pool
Remnants of the Romans’ attempt to smelt iron
impossible to cultivate meadow
a tree in its naked glory about to burst into spring
moss on a stone wall
A hidden stream. you can hear the water more than see it
