What wouldn't you give for a vista like this?

This is view from our back garden newly re-emerged from the field of Oil Seed Rape which was harvested only yesterday. It was quite nice in a way to feel enclosed by the crop for a time, but the energy that a freshly reaped field brings to the garden of our retreat is incalculable.

As you look at our great firepit it is now possible to see beyond the oak trees which border the land we use. The firepit is such a vital part of what happens here, a place where people can reflect and open up, where plans are dreamt up and resolve is strengthened. So sit back enjoy the view all around, the vista straight ahead and oh yes let's not forget the view above, the star filled and moon sky, but that is for another blog.......
