To the country this weekend to stay with the Ladyfriend's brother and family. Had a lovely time. Went to Marlborough, Wilts and had a nice window shop - stopping to buy occasionally. There were such lovely things in the ancient market town and thankfully the weather was kind. I like Wiltshire, it's country casual yet gentrified if you know what I mean.

Woke this morning to gentle bird song and the odd car zooming by, I thought to myself ten years ago it would have been quieter, a hundred years ago quieter still and then five hundred years ago you'd be hard pressed to hear a milk maid, infact my bed would have probably been a wooded glade.
