Last Chance.

Today's the day this footpath closes, but I got up early enough to get through before closure. Workmen were booting up to get going on their building operations which will ensure we go the long way round for the next six months. Or more; you never know.

Googled the Quotations Page and found a quote by a Greek didactic poet called Hesiod ~800BC - never heard of him before The dawn speeds a man on his journey, and speeds him too in his work

Wise Hesiod! As a schoolgirl I always retained more when studying for exams before dawn and did my best work before noon. After that it was all jolly hockey sticks.
