things we love
2009 October 12
We spent the weekend in Cambridge, catching up with the children and their significant others, eating out, exploring outdoor spaces. This is on Sunday morning at Wicken Fen-the last working windpump in the Fens. I love the way the sails imitate the sky colours; I love the burnt out colour in the reeds.
The reeds whisper all the time-tales of eels and little birds and vanished people. I love the subtlety of this landscape. And these guys too.
this makes me want to build a windmill
Beautiful happy faces to spend time with! Are you contemplating another fen piece ?? Your last was so intriging
Made me feel the same-it’s just like a Dutch delft tile.
I am stashing the memory away, Jane. I may make use of it.
Isn’t it amazingly exciting when a daughter suddenly gets the creative bug!! I have her first creation, a mobile phone pouch and I feel the same as I did when she brought her first hand made christrmas card home from priimary school!
Love the sails on that windmill… such a color! Of course, the kids are pretty cool, too! Love her hat!!
Wicken is about 2 miles from my house Judith. I love that very windmill too. Those smiling faces have cheered my afternoon! What a lovely post.
