Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Once upon a time, I visited Antony near Torpoint for my birthday. They must have known I was coming but the welcome was most unexpected.
Look what I found.
Did you see something unexpected? Share it with Ann-Christine and see her experimental photos.
Hedge laying is an ancient skill, it’s been around since the 16th century when landowners had to contain their livestock, because of the acts of enclosure. Different styles of laying can be seen around the country, and laying takes place in winter when there are no birds nesting and before the sap rises.
When I walked in the valley park this morning, the hedge between what I call the middle and bottom fields, had been recently laid. It’s opened up the view from the middle field at the rear of this photo way across the hills on the west of the estuary.
I’m glad the skills are still kept alive, but I can’t help wondering what the foxes make of it.

It’s Patti’s turn to pick the theme for this weeks Lens-Artist Photo Challenge.
My little city is very low rise and as I don’t have a drone or plane handy, I’ve chosen a different one.
Even aside from the very special company I had, Warsaw was a nice surprise.
Thanks Patti!
I’m knitting gentle exfoliating facecloths today.
The hours pass and are reckoned to our account.
I ended up missing most of Becky’s Time Square challenge in December, this photo wold have been the last one.
The astronomical clock in Exeter Cathedral is 15th century. The clock depicts what was then the known solar system, with the black fleur-d-lys sun going round the dial every 24 hours.The dial above the main one was added in the 18th century and it has one hand to tell the minutes.
