Changing seasons

What a joy to watch the seasons change here after 5 years in London, where in the heartbeat of a great city it is more a temperature change that marks the cycle of the year.
I have never been a City person, but like many, knew that some time in the big smoke would make a difference to a quite niche career. And London does have some great cultural and culinary insights to share, that is for sure.
The countryside though, much like Thoreau spoke of is both good and wild and free. Much like my youth and much like I intend both my middle and older age and my son’s childhood.
