Today is a bright and glorious day. I worked the weekend so I'm home, and with the pollen about gone, the windows are open. The coolness of the air reminds me of an English morning. I'm reading a wonderful little "castle book" and it reminds me of walking through a copse in England a few years ago and seeing these marvelous bluebells.
"'There'll be bluebells in there before long––you can see the shoots now.' He stood staring into the wood for a minute. 'What is it about the English countryside––why is the beauty so much more than visual? Why does it touch one so?'"
That's just how it is.
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (you see here the impact of a neighbor's blog! I wonder if she noticed my light on late last night as I just couldn't put the book down!)
One of my very favorite books...and we've rented the movie to watch again. It's just like the book, as well as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! I envy you possibly reading it for the first time. :) Or have you read it before???
