Up the road or down, sometimes further afield, often not for long, we're out most days.

Île de Bréhat, all day.
We walk from the Port in the south to the lighthouse in the north, on a daft non-treasure hunt. Mol walks like a trooper. We are happy and oh-so tired!
I love the word "daft" -- and the English use it so well. Another good word that Americans neglect!!
I took a long walk on the canal on Wed morning . . . and I was specifically thinking of you and your self-set task. I kept musing about what I would write about -- in 30 words. The poet's task is not an easy one: to observe closely and describe FRESHLY.
(I apologize for not recording this thought in a more timely fashion, but I had to rush home to go to a concert in London for my teenager's birthday treat. The O2 Arena was certainly an assault on the senses after my solitary walk.)
