I'm very excited by my first minor expedition into the Fens. Technically, Cambridge and Ely, and some other big towns, are Fenland, but I'm referring to the 'countryside' Fens, where it's all agricultural and remote and there are just fields and skies and amazing clouds. Last Sunday I dragged Anthony out of the house quite early in the morning (he loves when I do this) and demanded he bring me to the Fens. We decided to take it slow initially, and went to Haddenham and Aldreth via the Stretham Station Road off the A10, and then some other little country roads, which wasn't too far to go. Oh, it was so lovely! I was extremely pleased with myself because the weather was perfect... there was none of the ridiculous heat and harsh sun that would have RUINED the Fens; instead, it was just the tiniest bit overcast and the light/clouds were so beautiful. Of course (of course!) I made Anthony stop every few minutes so I could get out of the car and gather photographic evidence of our outing (Anthony deserves a medal but it's probably sufficient reward for him to know that he's contributing so profoundly to my Fens blog post - Anthony, I couldn't have done it without you!).

So, I've finally managed to get myself outside with my camera and I decided I would begin by documenting my immediate surroundings. The photos above and below are of the sun rising the other morning (don't worry; I don't generally take photos of my neighbours' houses - that would be weird), which I really like because of the nice colours and clouds in the sky, and the boxy shapes of the houses silhouetted against said sky (see? Taking pictures of my neighbours' houses isn't remotely odd at all, just arty).

About my blog
Really, it contains a little bit of everything, from a celebration of science and the English language to the joys of travel and the Shipping Forecast. The title ('Meanderings') is a fairly accurate description of its content: I write about different things as the mood takes me, but hopefully there's something in here for everyone... Categories
