"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."
From "Auguries of Innocence"

About Me

A lovely Winter scene.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Loved the views of how the other half lived in the previous post.
Happy Christmas my dear x
Thank you! Wishing you a Happy Christmas too. I look forward to reading your wonderful blog and the lovely photos you share in 2018 :)
Midmarsh John - Thanks so much. The photo was taken some years ago at one of my favourite nature reserves - we had gone there on my birthday and as you can see there had been a heavy frost!! Baddesley Clinton is an interesting house to visit - probably my closest NT property after Packwood!.
Countryside Tales - Thank you
Coquetnaturelover - Thank you for Christmas wishes and very kind comments about my blog and photos.
Happy Christmas to you all :)
