Harrop

I cycled and then swam. Warm and sunny at last : )

… ah … I’d forgotten it’s my blipday … I’d better add some Wordsworth for good measure!
Many thanks to all the old faithfuls and anyone who calls by. Blip remains a still and reassuring point in a turbulent world. And eternal thanks as ever to the wonderful folk at Blip Central who keep the good ship Blip going for us all xxx

There are in our existence spots of time,
That with distinct pre-eminence retain
A renovating virtue, whence--depressed  
By false opinion and contentious thought,
Or aught of heavier or more deadly weight,
In trivial occupations, and the round
Of ordinary intercourse--our minds
Are nourished and invisibly repaired;
A virtue, by which pleasure is enhanced,
That penetrates, enables us to mount,
When high, more high, and lifts us up when fallen.
