At various times of year, you can watch hot air balloons
taking
off.
And note: it is absolutely VITAL that you come equipped
with
wholemeal bread or fruit cake.
Especially during the winter!
One of my favourite spots to stand and stare.
As WH Davies said:
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
