Thanks.

Yes, indeed, it is a magical place. I try hard not to take it for granted, but to appreciate how fortunate I am to live here. The kids and I just took a walk round the place in the sunshine; each of them took a camera and they were looking for things to photograph, so we sauntered slowly appreciating all the beauty since we were looking specifically for it. Among other things they took pictures of wild roses, blackberry vines ranging all the way from flowers to a few ripe berries (lots and lot of green ones; it's going to be a good blackberry season), a bee visiting the roses, a dragonfly which magically lighted on a fern in a ray of sunshine at just the right moment for a picture, and other vignettes of beauty which it takes a deliberate decision to slow down one's life (and turn off the computer and go outdoors!) to appreciate.
