The glory of the morning.......

Our once a day exercise ration. 
We are blessed here in having open countryside not far from our home. 
A 15 minute or so walk to reach field paths, in one direction, 
then we have Sutton Park around a 20 minute walk away in the opposite direction, using the wide, quiet roads which cross through Four Oaks Park private housing estate.  All the properties are mostly gated and set in their own grounds, or huge gardens. There are some beautiful homes to see along the way.
  Today we chose the field paths.
Warm sunshine, over arching blue sky, skylarks singing their hearts out, and the wide openness of the landscape. 
    No wonder Edward Thomas, my favourite poet, said
          "I cannot bite the day to the core". 
I enjoyed every liberating minute, and did not want it to end.     
      Once we were back home we sat in the garden having a cup of tea,  and for once I forgot all the restrictions, and felt like I was actually on holiday. 
      It's good to be able to forget for awhile...........
