Let’s pretend

This is the country park on the edge of Witney, a local Cotswold town. It is a man made lake on the edge of the industrial estate. It looks a haven of peace and loveliness, which in many ways it is... if you are hard of hearing.

The Oxford to Cheltenham A40 dual carriageway roars above you, as do the aircraft, as it is on the flight path for RAF Brize Norton. They fly over to come in to land. There were a few joggers, children on scooters. Some walkers like us. It was a pleasant summer evening walk. I wish you could block out the noise of the modern age but it is part of how we live now. Better though that this space is used and enjoyed as it was just a gravel hole full of water to begin with. No need to water the garden tonight. It had a good soaking this morning and I think it may have another tomorrow.
