Landscape of Warwickshire

I've been away at a three day conference on 'resilience' - the latest buzzword. Or maybe not even that recent - an old concept brought back to the fore in the light of natural disaster, terrorism, economic collapse and uncontrollable bacteria. It's out in the wilds of Warwickshire, a beautiful landscape around us but alas, little time to explore it. The roar of the M40 not far away competing with sheep and cow sounds.

Outside sand martins swoop to a nest above my window, and I can see their underbellies and feet flapping as they dive, like a Pixar animation.
