onwards and upwards

six in the morning, quite a respectable hour at which to wake.
pitch black outside and so quiet i can hear the leaves fall.

except of course when a train rockets past sounding like a
screaming banshee!during the summer the trees and bushes which
follow the line do somewhat muffle the noise of a passing
train. now, on our way into winter, with their branches almost
bare ...
well, let's just say, noise wise i do notice a difference!
i saw the fox again yesterday, making her way along the line.
when it comes to fox spotting, the leafless trees do allow a
better view.

tonight the animal doctor is popping in for a drink and a bit
of a blether. what's more, this healer for the animal kingdom
did not bat an eye when i told her i had rejoined the nicotine
brigade! my kind of girl ;-)

onwards and upwards!
