Virtual Office Monday 27th July

Back to work... It was a nice weekend though, despite lots of rain yesterday. I tried to keep off the computer a bit, and give my eyes a break, but they're still complaining a bit now - and I've not even started the day's work yet. Eeep! The weekend looked like this though...

There was a lavender farm...
And a wee walk through a peaceful valley...
...until I found a neolithic longbarrow...

It was a lovely sunny day on Saturday too - perfect for the escape!

Sunday was grey and rain, rain, rain, but that was actually good too, cos I read, and cleaned and actually baked too - blackcurrant flapjack, which worked out so much better than I'd hoped! Someone gave me a load of blackcurrants, which I've never been mad on, but actually I think I could be converted... *g*

But now it's Monday, and there must be work... I'd quite like there to be some Pros too - I'm reading Larton again, as my bed-time book, and eyeing my dvds, and thinking about the lads... CI5 lads, and Victorian lads, and just... lads. *g* Maybe I should watch an ep tonight... what ep should I watch...? Suggestions please - it's so hard to choose otherwise! *g*

Your escape looks really great! Lavender is so beautiful... And there is a sheep! In the valley. Is there some track or did you just walk so... through wild grass?
And this neolithic longbarrow does it just stand open?! What if someone walks in there and gets... frightened? *g*
I vote for lads in the country! ;)

I do like a nice lavender farm... *g* I've been to ones that smell too too sweet, but this one was just right... Maybe I was there at the right time of year!

I was actually looking for the longbarrow, and there was a path signposted from the bottom of the valley, so I followed that. But it wasn't a path path, just the part of the field that you had to walk across to get to the next gap in the hedge or styal or whatever... *g*

The longbarrow had been excavated years ago - actually by the chap who lived at the NT property where I volunteer! - and rebuilt a bit after that. There'd been bones there, apparently, but of course they were taken away. There was another couple who'd also gone to see the barrow, just ahead of me - very odd, it was actually a fairly peaceful, empty area! - and we chatted a bit. The woman had gone down part way, but said she didn't like the feel of it and came back. I didn't feel anything odd in there - but I rarely do! - and went all the way to the end. Actually there was a wee memorial there for a local guy who'd died, and had apparently used to play in the barrow when he was a little boy...

Eep - do you mean "Weekend in the Country"? That's one of my least favourite eps (I'm not sure why, I just... I'm not keen). I shall pretend you mean something else... hmmn, maybe there's another ep with the lads in the country... *thinks hard*...
