Wittenham Clumps in twilight.

    The most lovely walk around Wittenham Clumps and across the fields to Dorchester. How to feel completely happy, so much birdsong, the spiceness of blackthorn blossom and the dank rich smell of the river. House martins, swallows and the first swifts. The soft haze of an early evening smooths and bleaches the landscape This tree, half dead and half alive - spring and winter.


    The horse chestnut leaves are just opening......

    Blackthorn blossom, like enamelled jewels - you can see why it was beloved by the Arts and Crafts movement.



    A pint (or so) in the George and back through the allotments - I need one of these .......



    I love the pragmatic charm of allotments, and how perfect to have one here; and dungerees too, be still my beating heart!

    Coming back in the twilight, we hunted for barn owls without sucess, but the tawny owls were calling to each other from the trees by the lock-keeper's cottage.
    An absolutely perfect evening.
