The best of ingredients

Yesterday I happened upon the recipe for a brilliant walk.

A lovely grassy track, leading uphill with the promise of good views at the top.
Beautiful old stone walls.
A vast cabbage field.  Give me proper cabbages as a decorative plant any day.  I have an aversion to the decorative ones which come as bedding plants.
Wonderful views all round, even on a murky afternoon.
A field full of lapwings, together with a flying display.
An orchard, with rosy apples and a beehive.
Damson trees, with accessible fruit for scrumping!

All these things added up to the most enjoyable walk I have had in a long time.

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
