I wish it was an original simile but I recently read it somewhere and today that was it exactly - the air so soft it was like silk caressing your skin. Wow! In October! Gorgeous day - breezy, sunny, busy sky

trees on the turn

and that mild silky air.

Back from travels for a fortnight now and brain just about caught up with body. One final post on therewillbechickens and then it will be put on hold...until the next trip.... :)

Did have quite a lot of time for reading btw:
(i) approached Alain de Botton`s The Art of Travel with trepidation as bit suspicious of philosophers but loved it
(ii) The Urban Circus by Catriona Rainsford an excellent piece of travel writing about an unusual subject
and (iii) still not quite finished the seriously disturbing (thank you J!) but excellently written The Panopticon by Jenni Fagan

Also in the middle of Michael Rosen`s latest - Good Ideas -which should be required reading for every teacher and parent in the land: guaranteed to revive the jaded.
