Rural Rush Hour

Loose Leaves – Looking Back

 

C.F. Tunnicliffe - Welsh Hill Farm (1949)


This illustration, although set in Wales, reminds me of a very Withnail-esque time several years ago when, while out walking down a country lane in Cornwall, we were overtaken by a herd of cows heading back to the milking shed.

 

 

Caught up –

evening commute

back to the farm.
