I liked especially the bracken photos. Yesterday evening I had a walk (it's raining here now) and was surprised to see how the ferns have already started to turn light brown and how they look even prettier than in summer.<br />Stay well, John!Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-33817534630820204682020-09-16T22:20:22.871+01:002020-09-16T22:20:22.871+01:00I don't think I could cope with living inside ...I don't think I could cope with living inside Grayson Perry's house - I would much prefer to be in those wonderful woods.Susan Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003572211042194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-31706738990300640412020-09-16T16:56:36.665+01:002020-09-16T16:56:36.665+01:00Such a well-written post.

I love how you brought us all back to the peaceful pastoral at the end, after a brief romp— so aptly described by Elephant’s Child above as being inside a migraine—through the imagination of artist Grayson Perry.
