Early this morning a team from Wessex Internet began laying Full Fibre Broadband cable along Christchurch Road reaching past our house. The very friendly gentlemen were happy for me to photograph
their work.
This afternoon Jackie drove me to Sears Barbers for a haircut, after which we took a forest drive.
The skies above Holmsley Passage and Mill Lane were less moody than yesterday;
Mill Lane’s stream rippled its way under the road and reflected the lichen-covered trees above. Further along the rain had brightened the moss coating fallen branches.
By dusk the skies had adopted a more varied aspect.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s wholesome liver and bacon casserole; boiled new potatoes; crunchy carrots; firm parsnips and Brussels sprouts; and tender green beans, with which I finished the Malbec.
Will that cable improve your Internet service?
Beautiful landscapes. I think my favorite photo today is the moss-covered fallen branches, which looks like a creature to me.
Thank you very much, Merril. I don’t expect it to be any better than our alternative system.
I love the last photo, a very dramatic sky.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Beautiful photos, and I hope that you guys get the fibre broadband! That would be wonderful!!
Thank you very much, John
You’re welcome Derrick. 🤙🏻☺️

Your moss covered tree limbs look like huge green snakes. I hope you get to enjoy some of that broadband access if you don’t already have it. One of the dimmer former members of Congress who happened to be our representative, finally realized during COVID that Broadband access was not a luxury when several of his voters had to drive miles to park in a closed library parking lot so they could access the library’s internet to do their remote school work.
