Jungle Walk

Went for a walk out of the other end of the village today. It's about a 10 mile loop to go out to the next village and back round to come back via the other road but that was a bit far to undertake by the time I left. I'd knocked out a quick design for a new canteen before lunch (2 mono pitched "wings" with goat-slide roof since you ask. One "wing" joins the other at a jaunty angle taking advantage of 2 different floor levels so that one roof can oversail the other forming a porch for both; if that makes any sense. Perhaps I should enter it into the Hyde Park Pavilion competition). Anyway, the walk took me out past farms farmed by the community and into a rolling jungle landscape reminiscent of a never ending Winkworth Arboretum. Background noise was like a low level dawn chorus – nothing to be heard apart from the birds.
