The phenomenon of attraction occurs everywhere. It has an effect on everything in the known cosmos. Its source not always fully understood. Gravitational pull and magnetism and other forms of energy fall within our grasp. Yet personal attractions seem less universal. More subjective. I’m attracted to this. You’re attracted to that. Why?
A relatively short Scoot of 20K rolls us over to Anglesey Abbey and Gardens. Our planned and booked trip for tomorrow, brought forward one day. Today says hot and blue. Tomorrow not so. We forego the house. It’s closed on Wednesday’s. We are more than compensated. Its 124 acres of gardens a masterpiece of design and intrigue. A wonderful blend of formal and natural landscaping.
Thursday 17th June. Sometimes its good to remind oneself what day it is. If only briefly. Mary-Ann constantly asks me what planet I’m on and that saves me having to try and remember that. The weather changes. It’s one of those grey overcast days that hover low overhead. A constant threat that breathes down your neck. Like a couple of cool cobras tasting the air we repeatedly take a rain check. It holds off for the duration of our trip in and out from Cambridge. Courtesy of the number 7 and two bus passes.
That attraction thingy steps in again. We deliberately sidetrack. Hop off at the Botanical Gardens. 40 acres of oasis. Give the Fitzwilliam museum a miss. We don’t need to know. Just need to be.
Have done my ‘chores’ – ie widened the space for the new fridge arriving (hopefully) on Monday. So with a cuppa in hand on this dismal day here (been drizzling most of the time), I come and see how how you two intrepid travellers are getting on… Marvellous.
You mentioned ‘gravitational pull’…thought for a moment you had squeezed in visit to Woolsthorpe Manor – birthplace of one of my heroes … though he was NOT a very nice man!
How much longer away are you?
Not sure why you think he’s a baddy. A couple of days ago we saw the actual cloned (from a graft of the original) son of the apple-tree,-wick inspired his best known work. (It’s the way I tell em!) If the weather holds were back on 27th. Currently in Milton Keynes, so you can guess where we’re going tomorrow.
