on saturday I drove to Wales...

... I very nearly didn't, because I'd spent all week dashing about the country on trains, and I really didn't feel like doing more dashing.

However, sometimes you just have to, because you know that when you get there, you'll appreciate having made the effort.

And when I lay in the back of the car with the door open, looking out on this (slightly murky, I admit) view, I knew I'd made the right decision.

Bizarrely, the only other photograph I took all weekend were of breakfast.

Strange, that.

Today has been altogether more mundane - a working at home day, with a short break in the middle for shifting a load of soil over that there hand-built wall.

'it'll only take you 5 minutes to shift that lot love' said the driver, as he drove off.

I should have given him a spade.

Needless to say, it took two of us a fair bit longer than 5 minutes, but it's all in place now (good job as it was blocking half the road). I'm planning to eat my breakfast outside on Sunday morning - think I'll make it??

  1. I think you should have given him a spade too!

    Can't wait to sit out next time I visit.

    You should have called in on Auntie Lou etc while you were in Wales, they're all there this week she could have made you breakfast. x

  2. I know but I had someone else with me, was at a party, and was there for less than 24 hours anyway (and I'd already driven for hours, so didn't fancy driving any more!). Maybe next time...

  4. quite the project. yes, soil blocking the street can be a real motivator. So can some of that nice looking cake you were eating last week too. I know what you mean about having many photos and no time to post about them. This month I am joining in on an "alphabet in august" posting series. I am a bit behind and I find I don't have photos for the words I am coming up with. So far I have only posted for A & B. http://emilysincerely.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/b-is-for/ Emily
