The fine scent of warm air and gorse!

Beautiful today...a transformation:

Here is an except from a historical novel based in Guernsey called "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer:
In the book a Character called Amelia Maugery, who spent the war in Guernsey says:

"My greatest pleasure has been in resuming my evening walks along the cliff tops. The Channel is no longer framed in rolls of barbed wire, the view is unbroken by huge VERBOTEN signs. The mines are gone from our beaches and I can walk when, where and for as long as I like. If I stand on the cliffs and turn to face the sea, I don't see the ugly cement bunkers behind me, or the land naked, without its trees. This summer gorse will begin to grow around the fortifications and by next year, perhaps, vines will creep over them. I hope they are soon covered."

This historic novel is set just after the war of course and is, I think, a very interesting and entertaining read!

Hope your Monday is no longer blue and and a nice sunny evening beckons!
