I spent a few days in Sussex recently, and…
In my seven weeks of peripatetic reading amongst the sheep
(which tended to move out of my way)
and the gorse bushes
(to which I had painfully developed an instinctive awareness)
I had never before stepped on a person…
OMG – it wasn’t Sherlock Holmes, was it?
LOL, Merrily! Did you trip over him, too?
Lovely to see this actual representation of what I had only seen in my head — and my vision had the countryside not nearly as open as these photos show.
Oooooh the thorns on that gorse! Pretty flowers, clouds of sunshine on the heath, and the scent of summer in England, though, so we forgive it.
Thanks for helping us picture this! Did you happen to see any Sussex bees?
Owwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
