More driving than walking in the last week or so: up and down to work but also this last weekend away to a family wedding in County Durham which at least afforded the opportunity to look at some beautiful landscapes even if, frustratingly, there was no opportunity to walk in them.
Reminded how varied the vernacular architecture is and how the place names too speak of a country "invaded" by "foreigners" over hundreds of years - Romans, Vikings, French.......can`t be many "indigenous" citizens who don`t have a smidgeon of something "foreign" running through their veins, which is very comforting.
Meanwhile back at the ranch last week, forebodings of winter with an inch of snow one morning and this morning a sharp frost. Hey ho - back to scarves, gloves and hats and a shovel in the boot of the car.
