Vacations

Times when we spend more than five days away from home and not working.

Footpath to Kingley Vale. Vacation Day 9. Today we went for a short hike with Marcelle and Charlie (the dog).

Yew, Pumpkin, & Feather – evidence of fairies in the woods.

The yew trees at Kingley Vale are large and old (400 years or so), they are also weirdly contorted as can be seen here.

Fallingwater — as close as you can get. The public don’t have access to the place where the most iconic picture of Fallingwater was taken. We have to make do with a spot a couple of hundred yards away. 2
