Getting away from it all...

Went to Hollingworth lake the other day, it was a very impromptu decision made by my mum, at first we were all reluctant to go, to put it bluntly nobody could be bothered, but in the end we got up, got in the car and were on our way. Once we were there we decided to take the unbeaten path down the less travelled route, and i must admit it was so nice to be away from cars and buildings and busy streets, the glorious weather just completed the evening. You don't really realise how calm and peaceful the countryside is until you get there, you just can't help smiling at every little thing. We walked through a sun dappled wood, inhaling the fresh earthy scent. We came across a babbling brook, flowing next to a huge, yellow sunlit field, we watched in delight as huge dragonflys danced to the melody of the water and the rhythm of the grasshoper's song, staying still for a fleeting moment, only to be gone the next, continuing with their performance to the sounds of nature. We ambled along, taking as much time as we liked, underneath the perfectly blue sky and the cotton wool clouds. For those few hours, everything was forgotten, as we marvelled the true beauty of God's creation...
