I am guessing that you might eventually be sharing photos of future hikes?<br /><br />The old bricks in those buildings have wonderful colors. The variety of greens provides a visual feast. Perhaps you all also saw interesting birds along the way?<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-66751448793454354542012-10-08T06:19:22.711-07:002012-10-08T06:19:22.711-07:00Isn't it wonderful to get out into the country...Isn't it wonderful to get out into the countryside? I am so envious as I can barely walk the length of myself right now being crippled with an acute episode of Sciatica! Hill walking used to be my thing, bagged a couple of Munros, but alas, no more. <br /><br />Whenever I am walking in the countryside here in Scotland, I stop, take in a deep lung full of the fresh air, marvel at the beautiful surroundings/vistas, and utter "and all of this is free, gratis, and for nothing"! How fortunate we are! <br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />We have some odd place names too. Two that spring to mind are - Auchtermuchty and Auchenshuggle!<br /><br />I love your photographs, particularly the one reflecting the red brick cottage.Bella Bheaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928126159466031672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-89701405670610904162012-10-08T03:29:19.677-07:002012-10-08T03:29:19.677-07:00The very apotheosis of Englishness!

My son Paul grew up on Postman Pat, living in South Africa at the time it seemed to portray a wonderful, pared down so quintessentially English scene. I can still sing that catchy theme tune to this day, conjuring up memories of Paul's childhood and a quirky portrayal of English country life!

I still have a copy of 'The Meaning of Liff', a witty little book which uses English place-names to describe experiences which lack one. In its own way it reaches perfection.<br /><br />You have no idea how much I miss rambles ending in the local pub, now that I am in California.Tricia Rose Rough Linenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677751031571089563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-51855341167143495892012-10-07T15:16:26.191-07:002012-10-07T15:16:26.191-07:00The landscape is magnificent.

In early summer I hiked with my friend in Southern Ireland and absolutely fell in love with the country. In the past I have enjoyed high altitude treks in the Himalayan mountains and in Africa. At home, i try to hike on week ends. You do live in a beautiful part of England! Francine Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042631088215474109noreply@blogger.com
