dipping down the valley,
rolling down the steep
hillside.

I, too, love the countryside and appreciate these words all the more for it. You have an enviable gift of painting pictures with words.

And then.I woke up.In a cold bedsit in the middle of winter down by the docks in Liverpool.Not the buzzing of bees but the mystic warble of police car sirens.Still one can dream.Nice one Ernestine. I remember days like that when I was 6 years old near my parents holiday cottage at LLangwynaddle on the Lynn peninsular in North Wales. Best wishes. Sid xx.
