End of flat grass ridgetop,
vast sky,
Dore valley meets meandering Wye
far below.
Hay Bluff sharp sliced off finger
of Black Mountain range
silhouetted far left,
light plays on autumn greens of valley
and rusty-brown ploughed patch,
lovely to be high,
ample room,
privacy,
grass, scattered trees,
dying leaves, autumn fruit,
fungi,
wide outlook.

This is a favourite spot of ours see: https://www.abctales.com/story/rhiannonw/relaxed-ramble

Another gem of a poem Rhiannon, reminding me of the beauty of Wales. I enjoyed going back and reading A Relaxed Ramble and Quirky Meadow Saffron too.

Thank you, Jenny. Glad you enjoyed. It's good trying to get a record of impressions and enjoyments of such occasions. Actually the spot is still in England, but only just, and looking out to the Welsh Hills. In fact, the name 'Dore' valley comes I think from the Welsh word 'dŵr' (water), so the border has been changeable down the years probably! Rhiannon
