Sounds like a really nice walk. I’ve been careful not to watch the telly or videos too, but I’ve read a lot of newspaper reports analysing the situation. It does help to feel informed (although some of that is positive feedback of my own already held opinions of course). Being outside and working in the garden or walking in nature is a great way to put cares aside and unwind though.

Yes, we’ve been reading the newspaper reports as well. What seems to come through it the more we can go on as usual the less we feed their hatred. Easier said than done.

Beautiful photos, Rosemary. I look forward to our next work around your gorgeous neighbourhood.
I was torn between watching the television, checking on friends safety and communication for a gathering as a sign of solidarity. I suffered horrendous nightmares which I have never had before. For me it wasn’t something just happening on the other side of the world (although I live in Australia) it was happening to humanity and was even more difficult as I feel as though my heart is in France.
Is it ‘commute’ with nature? Or ‘commune’ with nature ? 🙂

It’s funny. I woke up this morning thinking “commute, I wrote commute in my post – it should be commune!” I’ve changed it :).
That is why I don’t watch the television. I would have had nightmares. As it is, I haven’t been sleeping well. We don’t talk of much else, but we try. We’re going to Paris on Thursday and Friday. We decided not to cancel.

How much detail we miss by driving. There is so much ‘out there’ if only we took the time to look.

Yes, there certainly is. In winter we like to walk in places we can’t cycle. The views are not the same.

What beautiful shots!
There’s nothing like nature to sooth hurts like that.
