Up the road we drove,
Bushes each side of us
And then we were there.
Into the car park we came,
There in front was the pavilion,
Into it we walked,
Greeted all around.
But then it happened,
I walked out to the terrace,
And saw this magnificent view.
The lawns so green
Surrounded by the wonder,
The wonder of Nature.
The trees and bushes
Bringing delight to my sight.
We played our games
Against delightful opponents,
During the day filled with joy,
And much laughter.
A day to be remembered.
But the highlight of my day
Was that view,
I just could not stop looking
At the wonder of Nature’s canvass
Surrounding my life
With its absolute beauty.

Our own wonderful land. It's the reason why i go for my drives, to be out there taking pleasure from what fills my senses.
A timely reminder from you to get out into the country air before the chill arrives.
So true d a, being out with Nature is so wonerful.

Had to Google Dowlish Wake....... I wish you wouldn't do this to me, Andy - I may have been in Australia for a long time now, but I still have feelings for the Old Country, you know....It looked great, plus croquet - you almost make me envious (no, correct that - you DO make me envious - for a little while!)
Lovely nostalgic write.
Thank you Dave. I had not heard of Dowlish Wake either until we heard we heard we were playing them in the semi-final of the South West Croquet tournament, fabulous old time village.
Andy.
A fine write and pic Gold.
Erm, I'm not envious. We have rural or semi-rural areas about 2 miles from home, and a woodland about 1 mile away.
It is the same for me, but this place was something special.

Ohh, of leafy lanes, and Autumn (or late Summer) strolls and views! I'm waxing lyrical now. heehee.
'The lawns so green
Surrounded by the wonder,
The wonder of Nature.
The trees and bushes
Bringing delight to my sight.'
this is beautiful
are those clouds for real?
so majestic and tranquil,
your write took me back to my football days,
when we would spend an entire day playing, and then just lay on the grass
and watch the clouds, wordlessly
sharing that moment of serenity...
a wonderful read Andy and the energy of the music goes with it so well
Thank you Mek the wonder of Nature is always good to be with.
Andy
