Melind...Thanks Melinda, and AID, for your comments.<br />Melinda, my father was born in Yorkshire and I love the rocky grandeur of the Pennines. We may farm the land with crops and animals but left to its own devices nature quickly takes over again. Down in the western part of Cornwall farmers on moorland fight a constant battle against gorse and heather and old stone hedges mark out C18th fields that seem tiny compared to modern Cornish farms. As for the great prairie fields of Wiltshire...awesome!Jane Jacksonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-37996066852556551702010-06-18T12:52:51.200+01:002010-06-18T12:52:51.200+01:00The lane has gone too deep down...it must be prett...The lane has gone too deep down...it must be pretty old to go that down by walks. I like the circular view of trees at distant giving it an enigmatic feeling...I love greens and farms and they make you feel so fresh!Asian Internet Datinghttp://www.datingdownunder.com.au/Asian.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-33402644136902304272010-06-18T12:34:23.953+01:002010-06-18T12:34:23.953+01:00Lovely post, Jane, and I do agree about the linsee...Lovely post, Jane, and I do agree about the linseed, the blue looks lovely. Progress can be bittersweet. Here on the Pennines there is little chance of contractors taking over too much because the hills aren't suitable for large machinery. Having said that, the sheep we take for granted now weren't always so abundant. Records show that the hill farmers used to grow some crops as well. I sometimes wonder if we would recognise the countryside if we could see it as it was 200 years ago.Melinda Hammond/Sarah Malloryhttp://www.sarahmallory.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-15117845307814231542010-06-18T07:19:21.262+01:002010-06-18T07:19:21.262+01:00Thanks, Jan.

There are also badger, fox and rabbit holes in the hedges. And with the trees meeting overhead it has a cathedral-like feeling.Jane Jacksonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-19662696703615387002010-06-17T07:24:16.464+01:002010-06-17T07:24:16.464+01:00Oh, Jane, I LOVE the photo of that lane!
And yes,...Oh, Jane, I LOVE the photo of that lane!<br /><br />And yes, the continuity of the countryside is very comforting. Also a nice source of background and conflict for a writer... :)Jan Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471022034388834235noreply@blogger.com
