Off for a few days...
When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money. ~Susan Heller

Nut case
Back home and listening to the birds tweeting outside. I have checked the forecast, and its sunny today with a high of 11 degrees, I may visit my gardening blog.
I also have the packing away of various items and washing of clothes. I hate unpacking, it takes me a few days to squirrel away bits and pieces.
Some of you perfectionists walk in instantly put everything away and as if a magic wand has been waved~~~~~~~~gone, well that isn't me.
My picture today is a case I saw last year on the track in the forest, I love the shadow on the track. As you can see this case is half unpacked too.
If you are stuck indoors at work today I hope you can take a walk in the sunshine later.
The French word for suitcase la valise.
The French word for shell on a nut is la coquille.

Travel
A few days travelling.
At first empty French roads, then a night crossing on my favorite ferry, then along roads where the houses are packed tight together.
The rolling Dorset hillsides lost in the mist. We drive past drifts of snowdrops a pure delight growing in the steep banks alongside the rural but busy roads.
The wonderful mighty English Oak trees their branches are left to grow far and wide, unlike the severe cuts of their French equivalents.
I cant say that I had noticed how bad the motorway verges were before, but I see miles of unwanted cans and packaging amongst the grey dusty roadsides.
The motorways in England are full to bursting and major works are underway to add extra lanes. Soon the ever increasing numbers of modern cars will be be forced to move slowly, chugging along like this old vintage number.
