A crisp winter's day ... and a shopping trip to
Swindon. A late afternoon drive back over the
Marlborough Downs.
In
Devizes, the pond by the green - the Crammer - shimmered as the light went down, with trees silhouetted against the sky.
Caen Hill Locks on the canal run through the town, and as we left after dropping Dad off, we could just make out the waters running under
Prison Bridge with its sawtooth shape railings which - I'm sure - have something of a history.
And in the last gasp of sunlight, away in the distance the stack of the
Westbury Cement works belched its characteristic steam out over the countryside
I wouldn't want to live anywhere but
Wiltshire.
