Early morning walks in recent months have revealed new places – Bottisham Lock, Carr Dyke, Baits Bite Lock, the Lazy Otter and the Landbeach Research Park. The Beechwoods have been revealed anew. New landscapes, new wildlife, new ways in which paths and river banks come to life. And new places for coffee on the frosty days. Always new, no two days the same.
A new appreciation of dawn and sunrise too. I feel I might have seen more sunrises in the past six months then in much of the rest of my life. Sunsets are a spectacle for contemplation at the end of the day. We see sunrises less often because of the way we organise our lives – getting ready for work leaves little time for contemplation.
