view17th Jun 2026View if you live in a hilly area, you will doubtless run into a slope. That is literally a downside, or upside. The positive? It is likely that there will be a view, or two.
On the garden- our version up here of an allotment- we are towards the top of a long slope. At 1in 4, that is some slope. It also ensures that as you look down the hill there is the sea at the bottom: some 500+ foot below.
After a session of planting and weeding, it is a pleasure to sit on the bench and see. The village spreads out far below, and the ships gently move in front, and away on the horizon there are the big ships, not the coastal tramps that we see closer in. Somewhere, there is a gas rig just beyond the horizon. To see that, you need to go uphill that little bit more, and hope for a dry sunny, high pressure to rule. Even without that, it is a view good enough to make you stand and stare. That is indeed some view. |
