Part Three of a Weekend of Delights...
Lush, luxuriant, ranunculus-strewn wet meadows thick with wildflower: marshmallows, umbelliferers, meadowsweet and orchids: spotted, perhaps.
Each step brings a cloud of Common blue damselflies, rising and neon, gliding gently away. Demoiselles - banded and beautiful - flicker in sun and shade amongst the sedges and rushes, searching for mates.
Hobbies scythe the sky, catching Four-spotted chasers, Broad-bodied chasers and damsels. Yellow flag outshine the buttercups. Sedge warbers sing. Great crested grebes dive in trout lakes: tempting trout lakes.
Acres of meadow and not a soul. Mute swans hiss my intrusion. I slip, naked, into the pool, cool and clear, and swim with a grin. Hobbies skim insects above me, Tufted ducks fly from me, damsels glide in front of my face. Cool water caresses.
A Marsh tit! There and gone, called once and slipped into thick cover: never to show again.
And so back home. A ton on the Fosse Way: naughty but nice, and my long weekend ended.
