And so..... It's Goodbye, Farewell...............

..........gradually once again to the long winter evenings.

Here in Cornwall on a cloudless day it is stretching out until at least 5.45 pm before daylight is lost.

We have just come back from a long walk in the countryside. Bright, sunny, crisp cold day with no wind.

Even in late afternoon, in the more sheltered spots there is still signs of the morning frost.

I'm quite sure that we wont get away with having many days like this, but at least spring is on it's way.

Here are a few pictures from Cornwall and Devon just to remind you what springtime looked like in past years. :)

Very nice pictures John.

It's been Sunny here in our part of the Scottish Borders too. A little chilly when that cloud covered the Sun but when it was shining you could definitely feel some heat.

I'm looking forward to being able to get out with the camera in the Spring to get some photo's taken.

I will post a few on here when I have.

I'd love to walk on those paths! One of these days I will..

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
