A spring in my step

Energised enough to walk over the ridge and down to the river, which is still swollen from all the recent rain, but the pasture meadows are full of dandelions, and so many fields still haven't been planted.  I've never seen so many brown fields at this time of the year.

This is a view of Oakley House, built and once owned by the Duke of Bedford.  They have beautifully manicured lawns leading down to the river Great Ouse.

The extra is my other choice, but couldn't decide, so went for the pretty one.
