Clarity

I've been working like a maniac for the last couple of weeks. Bank Holidays are always a nightmare as, although I enjoy the time off, everyone who expects progress on things I'm organising conveniently forget that I'm minus a few days, and those days in between most everyone seems to be on a "go slow" which means everything gets done laboriously slowly until the Bank Hols are forgotten. *sigh*

So to make up for that, weekend visits to National Trust properties have been indulged in, this is one of my favourites, Ightham Mote in Kent.



I've been cycling a lot too. A lot of hilly mooching round the local area to get to know it well. The roads look so inviting, and the traffic is so light! I can't resist.



This has also given me a chance to keep an eye on the development of the local flora, blossom, daffs, bluebells and the like. I think the bluebells in the woods are going to peak this weekend coming. The trees look like large clumps of candy-floss have blown into their branches. It's all so cheerful looking!



Below is where I ate a lovely cold pasta salad for my supper this evening. Riding to and home from this location was amazing. The birds sounded like they could not possibly sing louder or more tunefully, and the flowers and blossom were so prolific that I was cycling through constant perfume. Complete bliss.



Life's not at all bad at the moment!
