The views out over west Dorest and beyond from Penbury Knoll were fantastic this afternoon, and spring was certainly hinting heavily at what's to come. Gorse blazed bight yellow, green shoots and spring blooms poked up through the hedgerows, over the grassland and about the wooded dells. Bird song filled the air, hares darted across the fields and all around the land appeared alive with activity. The air was fresh and sweet, blown by a gentle breeze on which birds of prey soared. So peaceful, so natural, everything as it should be. It was bloody marvellous! So different from yesterday when I cycled around Bournemouth, all chaos and anger, choked up with its sticky, hot, dirty air. From our hill top perch Dorset extended out before us, but you could see further, into Wiltshire and maybe beyond as well. At times like this I could just sit taking it in for hours.
