About "Oh to wander down a leafy Exmoor lane,
Past cottage gardens bright with hollyhock
then wander back again.
No cars or wires reminding us
of this progressive age,
A tea-shop ready to refresh when at the weary stage."

(Unfinished poem by Keatsopher Sprackles)

Please feel free to finish in your own inimitable way!

Thank you, Roger!
You're the only one to have risen to the challenge and you did it so well! Excellent end to my little rhyme!
Best regards, Chris

...And when at last we wend our homeward way,
We quietly vow we'll come again another day
and share the joys and beauties that we find,
with Usefilm friends both wise and kind.

Rather cheeky of me to try to end your poem, Chris, but I thought the above fitted with the mood. This view has that magic element--an almost stereoscopic sense of depth. How inviting! And how well you've captured that elusive early twilight mood.

A stroll down the lane. So beautiful and peaceful. Without that hurried look that we have over here. Great work. Don.

Very interesting lighting here Chris, I like it, and I like the overall 'feel' of this scene.

Now about the poem??!!!....I'm not even going to 'GO' there......you'll have to finish this one!

Thanks Chris, that's got me out of a real corner. The 953 year wait has put Margaret off the idea totally. Phew!!!!!!!!

Believe me, Linn, I know how fortunate I am to live where I do! Beacuse of the way my own village is built, I am just a five minute walk from the centre, with its shops, library and churches, and yet just a five minute walk the other way to open countryside.

Within a little over an hour in the car, I can visit two different coastlines and two National Parks ~ Dartmoor and Exmoor. I'm less than 40 minutes away from Wells, with its beautiful cathedral and moat and within 20-30 minutes of several National Trust properties, all with magnificent houses and gardens.

I am truly blessed ~ and I know it! So it's a very great privilege and pleasure to share some of the beautiful scenes from my little corner of the world with friendly UF users like yourself.

Have a good day, wherever you're spending it/

Best regards, Chris

I might as well admit it ... I am sooooo envious of you! You have all these magnificent architecture and flowers right on your doorstep! Maybe it's a good thing that I don't live there - I will never be home! :-))

Great image Chris - I love it when you take me there!

Great photo Chris - still not sure about your poetry though lol Several times I have stayed in B&B within thatched country cottages, there is something magical about it.

Thanks for the smile, Den!
The best way out of your predicament is to explain to Margaret, (using as much gobbledy gook and archaic legalese as possible), that these cottages are all owned by the National Trust and there's a 953 year long waiting list for any of them! By which time the hollyhocks will have died off and the thatch will need repairing at exorbitant expense to the tenant!
Best regards, Chris

I don't have a way with words Chris. The picture itself is poetry. Balanced and colourful it brings out all the old english charm.
BTW i'm in BEEG trouble over my comment about Carole's camera. Margaret says she's got a digital camera so now she wants one of these cottages! Gotta find a way out of this one.
