A sunny backyard view ~ Great Crosby ~ suburb of Liverpool
Oh, to be in England . . . In Grim & Gram's Back Garden Beata: Here we have grey clouds and high winds. Grandpa Ron's house - a world's difference! Etta: Those buildings and clouds in the background are so scenic and quaint they don't look real! Jes: Is that for real? Bucolic and beautiful. Enjoy the Motherland! Kathleen: So pretty, bucolic. Katie: Love the little green bench and the red letter box. Gorgeous . . . that perfect sky! Katy: Like a Kincaid painting! Too pretty to be real. Lisa: That is absolutely beautiful! Mumbi: A nice place to relax and watch the flowers bloom. Sandy SK: Thank you for sharing; blustery, rainy, and cold here; glad you have sunshine and time with the family. |
from one of our favorite Brits:
“Anyone who cares to examine my work will see that even when it is downright propaganda it contains much that a full-time politician would consider irrelevant. I am not able, and do not want, completely to abandon the world view that I acquired in childhood. So long as I remain alive and well I shall continue to feel strongly about prose style, to love the surface of the earth, and to take a pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information. It is no use trying to suppress that side of myself. The job is to reconcile my ingrained likes and dislikes with the essentially public, non-individual activities that this age forces on all of us.”
by George Orwell (1903 – 1950)

Thanks Rebecca Solnit
Could that, by any chance, be the quotidian?
