cycling, folly hill, harrowdown hill
It was good to have time to cycle this morning (due in at 11 am again because I'm working late).
Took this photo from Calcroft Lane (the gated road) looking towards Folly Hill at Faringdon - it is visible, just, in the far distance, a little to the right of centre.
I alluded to Folly Hill in my comments on the use of the locus amoenus in Renaissance literature in the piece on Harrowdown Hill that I wrote in 2005 (see 2008 revised version on my website: frankegerton.com/nonfiction.html).
When I walked to Harrowdown Hill that morning, it was grey and there was a light mist, like today.
Now on the bus to work, almost at Oxford.
