Thank you very much Gail. This is a place that I have visited for around 60 of my seventy years and practically nothing has changed in all that time. For a small island like Britain with its fifty million population it is remakable that places like this still exist just ten miles from urban areas.
I can hear the river and smell the always-damp moss and lichen just by looking at the image. #6361639

Thank you Dawn. When we vacation back in England each year, nostalgia is a powerful draw to places known since childhood. Sometimes that is setting oneself up for disappointment as the shear volume of people and cars overwhelm some beauty spots but fortunately most folk aren't comfortable with little country lanes that have hedgerows that sweep both door mirrors simultaneously and require occasional backing up as one meets an oncoming tractor or car. So they stick to the main roads and leave these places for me.
