Exhaustion

It’s not always easy being on holiday. First of all there’s the over stimulation resulting from having company leading to a sleepless night, then there’s the extra exercise walking on unfamiliar turf and last but not least are the too large meals accompanied by too large drinks.

Such was the pattern today when the sun shone, a warm breeze ruffled the leaves on the trees as we walked to the local hotel for Sunday lunch. The result was a cat nap on the settee when we got home before sitting on the patio for a cheeky glass of wine.

The fields surrounding our cottage have not yet been harvested and are seas of golden barley stretching to the horizon. Last year I caught the action as they were cut so perhaps my extra will be the before shot.
