Something Hardyesque to complement the dull drizzly weather right now.

 

The River Frome at Moreton ford in mid-January, a short distance from the grave of T.E.Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), the spectacular engraved church windows by Sir Lawrence Whistler, the fabulous Walled Garden teas rooms and a couple of miles from possibly the greatest tank museum in the world at Bovington. Various walking and cycling routes pass through here, such as the Frome Valley trail, the Hardy Way, Jubilee trail and National Cycle Route 2.

Travelling through England in the summer one can find oneself at any moment on the fringes of a Hardy novel.

 

This can be pleasing but also unsettling; one checks one's wallet for signs of poverty-stricken-ness: might that slight cough be the first symptom of consumption?
