Ethereal

This morning started off as it usually does both of us in a scurry in an effort to get to work on time.  Just up down the road and round the corner we go past the junction to Thorpe Hall a superb old pile of a place that is in fact a Hospice a very special Hospice run by Sue Ryder.

There is a lot of parkland surrounding the Hall and this morning as we came round the corner it looked as though we had walked back in time and that the ghosts were coming out to play.  There was a thin stream of mist just surrounding the edge of the meadow and if I had had a camera with me it would have made a fantastic photo.  Unusually it was only in the one spot.  Most of the dykes and the river are in flood.  The river is more or less to the top of the bank at both the main river and the Electric cut.  so the earth is warm and is letting off steam.   The sun was out this morning on the way to work and I think that was part of the magic.

On our return journey home this evening, we have seen the mist start to rise again.   When we walked Missy this the mist was starting to gather off the land.  However I am grateful we have had no more rain today although it is chilly again.  If we keep having the damp weather I think the mist will be getting thicker.  I am feeling the change in temperature and have been for a while.  I think the heating will definitely be going on sooner rather than later.

We had a chicken curry this evening for tea which went down very nicely served with rice and Naan bread.

Right time to get ready for another day at work.

Catch you soon.
