Great & Green

MOMENTS captured on last weekends most un-planned excursion.  I got the feeling the Mr wasn't really too fussed what we did.  Just like some days i'm not either.  But days off together are precious and whilst lazy days are welcomed sometimes, last Sunday was not one of those days.  Last Sunday i woke up with an insatiable urge to be outdoors;  to feel the damp Autumn air fill up my lungs and to breathe it all in and SAVOUR it for a good few hours.

Do you ever feel that way?  After a week of busy-ness, and deadlines and general day to day and an overwhelming feeling of the '9-5's' - i just knew i NEEDED to be outside.  'I just want to go somewhere wide and open and green and…vast.' I told him.  And just like magic and the persevering and wonderful self that he is, he couldn't have taken us anywhere better.  
We walked up the sides of small hills, climbed the STEEPEST of steps and marvelled at the clearest iciest looking water RUSHING and GUSHING down between gullies and valleys alike.  We wandered back along the way we came, just as the low cloud was sneaking in and the Sunday sun was beginning it's descent into the day after.  And it was JUST what i needed, even more than you can ever imagine.  I shall never ever take for granted how lucky we are to have such magical and beautiful places to visit right upon out doorstep.
