blue sky musings

It is cold and crisp this morning with blue skies, in other words a brilliant day and one that i would miss a great deal if the worst predictions of global warming come to pass and southern england becomes another mediterranean.
In addition i would miss the seasons if i moved abroad to a warmer climate. I am one of those, i think relatively rare people, who prefer cold, bright blue sunny days to hot, sweaty days.
Walking on frosted grass, first thing, wherever in the world, is magical and i've been fortunate enough to walk in the mountains and valleys of a number of different countries around the world from peru to nepal to iceland to australia. Those walking trips far outweigh any beach holiday.
The quietness and time to yourself is just brilliant.
I look forward to exploring the national parks of california - a short visit to joshua national park is coming up early next month, yippee!
