Country Boy

Penelope and I just walked down the lane that leads from our house here in Somerset out on to the Somerset levels….It’s a mystical place. Bruno our German Shepherd puppy, already bigger than me, is running ahead as always and today everything is so clear and bright transformed by that fabulous winter sunlight which throws long shadows across the fields and enables you to see forever………………………. It’s hard to believe that just yesterday I was walking down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, on my way to the glass cube of the Apple store, walking in amongst the busiest of Christmas shoppers in the frantic energy of New York………. I’m going to write over the next few days about all the moments we encountered on our trip to the USA over this past week, of the people we met, the interviews, TV, radio, the positive energy and such love we encountered on our adventures…And yes the air in L.A did smell warm and sweet, just how I remembered it……and as the song says – the weather was good….. Anyway, I’ll talk to you later as I’m going downstairs to light a big log fire now, get over the jet lag and watch “Holiday Inn” just so Christmas will come a little earlier. I’ve had some great experiences this last week and I’m sure its not my imagination when I say it feels like I’m walking a little taller….
