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.
