Run - running through the seasons

A few weeks ago this field was bare earth, and it was hard to see where the footpath should go across the mud.



Now there are bean plants nearly up to my knees, and a neatly worn path leads the way through the field from the gate on one side to a little hole in the hedge on the other.  For me, the rhythm of paths being ploughed over and remade as the seasons change is one of the (many, many) pleasures of running in the countryside.

    1. Just getting out there is brilliant, isn't it? I'm amazed how quickly everything's changing at the moment

    1. I agree - I really like the sense of both change and continuity as the seasons pass

I'm not sure if anyone reads this. But if you do, and you'd like to comment, I'd get very excited. And would try to reply. Thanks!
