Here is a well worn path of my daily comings and going along the margins of Townsend Meadow. The visible sign: the trail of gardening not writing.
There’s an unofficial gap in the hedge beside the first ash tree, and that’s my way into the allotment. The farmer leaves a swath of uncultivated ground on two sides of the field to soak up rainstorm run-off before it hits the houses at the bottom of the hill. For a couple of years these abandoned areas were simply left to grow, hence the nose-high grasses still standing in winter. But last summer, just before the wheat harvest, the weedy wilderness was mowed. Now the only signs of my passing are muddy boot impressions among the fallen ash leaves – not quite so photogenic.
Black & White Sunday: SIGN Paula says to interpret this prompt any way we like.
In other words …. ”Our Tish wos ‘ere!”
Yep!
BTW. How are things at your end of the planet, Ark. Am feeling chat-deprived from your quarter – both our minds otherwise engaged I guess. Anyway, hope you’re having a good weekend.
Sorry, Tish, things are a bit rough at the moment.
Don’t want to spill on your blog but if you pop over to Kate’s ( roughseas) spot you’ll catch the drift from my interaction with her…
Sorry to hear that. Will visit Kate.
Remarkable sign!
😀 it took me a few seconds to understand Ark 😀 I like this interpretation, Tish. It is an intimate look into your daily comings and goings. Thank you.
Thanks, Paula. This entry was a bit left field, to make both an appalling pun and an actual geographical description 🙂
At least it wasn’t “The Tail of Tish”, although that would have been much more unusual. “Trail of Tish” has such a lovely ring to it and the photo is lovely as well. I’ve now used up my allotment of compliments, so happy trails to you, until we meet again. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcYsO890YJY)

Cheers, Janet. That is so funny :O
Such a clever interpretation.
It must be the mint tea, taking effect 🙂
Are you sure it is mint you are growing?? 😉
I couldn’t possibly divulge…
Yes Tish, very clever, I expect it gets a bit scratchy 🙂
And v. wet around the knees after mist or rain. I sometimes think waterproof trousers are called for.
Positively sylphlike 🙂 🙂
V. interesting observation, Jo. An optical illusion I’m almost sure 🙂
Hi there 🙂 As I like your content, I just nominated you for the Bloggers Recognition Reward!
That’s very nice of you. Thank you for reading my blog.
You’re welcome 🙂
artsy path – and curious as to those bootprints though….
Not a pretty sight, larded in Wenlock mud that you never get to the end of, once encountered 🙂
got it….
