Friday 4th April - Home sweet home

 I've been  a bit erratic with posts this week; we've been away for a few days, from Monday until today.

We stayed at a lovely little 1 bed cottage on a smallholding 'down along, out along, round along lea', not in Cornwall but in Dorset, a few miles from Charmouth. 

Because the farm is on a very steep hillside, the back door of the bungalow, a converted farm building, was on a level with the roof of the farmhouse next-door. We had a little balcony looking out over fields and the hillside opposite. The hedge was full of sparrows., chittering and gossiping. 

The weather looked wonderful until you stepped out of the door when the biting north-east wind took all the warmth out of the day. 

It didn't matter, after all I wasn't planning to go surfing or paddling...

The sky was brilliant blue, but the sea was cold and grey. At least I assume it was cold. I didn't take any steps to verify my assumptions. This was from a photograph I took on Tuesday at Charmouth beach. We didn't stay long; the pay and display car park machines were playing up so went off somewhere else.

Music

For too many months life has felt a bit like this piece; 'A short ride in a fast machine' by John Adams.

I love this piece, so exhilarating, so exciting... but there comes a time when IT HAS TO STOP!!!
