Ramblings and Mutterings

Yippee! I set myself a challenge to get one of these type shots and yippee, I did it! I just think this view is so quintessentially British, as British as a nice cup of tea and listening to Test Match Special in the garden. Seeing this field reminds me of one song, perhaps you know it:

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold


'Fields of Gold', Sting, 1993

For most of today it was glorious sunshine but when I got to Abergavenny it was like the end of the world, pitch dark, heavy rain, thunder and lightening. Get to the other side of the town and there was absolutely nothing and now as I write this its bright sunshine. A very productive day though, I got a lot done and the day just flew by, so that's got to be good!
