Walking
Mr. Butshesagirl and I went for a walk this morning to get some fresh air and some perspective. We chose a circular walk taking in Muswell Hill (no, not the one in London)âfrom the top you have a view over two counties; Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
It turned out to be much muddier underfoot than weâd anticipated. Every step was accompanied by the schplock of mud reluctantly releasing wellington boot. Iâm fond of woods in winterâtheir starkness has a beauty of its own. In the woods, clumps of grass seemed supernaturally green. I wasnât sure if they were really that colour, or if my eyes were seeking out and accentuating colour in the drab of winter. There were also surprising pockets of snow still persisting in places, nestling in hollows like sheep.
