Coming Home.... The Kodak Big App Challenge.


We have rather a long school run each day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. The morning run is a real delight, we catch up on homework; spellings, times tables and we sing, (particularly requested is Cee Lo Green's Forget You, the clean version!)

On the way home it's a little more demur. Some days John Humphrys, Jim Naughtie, Evan Davis, Justin Webb or Sarah Montague accompany me home and I catch up on world events rather than my lyrics.

Other days I take the time to look out and see the seasons change.

The picture above was taken last October. It's the last stretch of open road before I'm home over the hill in the far distance. Sometimes there are cows grazing, crossing the road at minimal speed, sometimes there are sheep but always present are the tarty male pheasants and the little partridges with their pretty red eye makeup. It's a busy road therefore, but not with cars, so you need to take it easy and stick to 30mph.

I like this picture and the calm it brings me.

This is the picture I'd like to enter for the Kodak Big App Challenge. Hope you agree.

  4. A Modern Mother: I sometimes think it looks like another country, rather than good old Blighty. Not sure where though.

    Jennifer Howze: Me too.... feel like skiving today and watching Horse Whisperer.. all that expanse of Montana ..... and all that expanse of Robert Redford. [Gosh, come over all unnecessary]

    Michelloui: Mind you when I had a flat tyre earlier in the week I wasn't so tickety-boo about the diatance!

  7. Gorgeous! I miss our country drives (am expat still hanging onto our old village house) and am all homesick now! You have so many great pictures here - and I love your description of blogging to make time stand still.
