Hey Pheroneous,

Thanks so much for writing this entry. We used to take family holidays in this area and my one over-riding memory of those times was the sound and sight of skylarks hovering over the chalk fields on a cornflower sky blue day. Reading your entry brought this back to me and I remembered the time that I was doing cartwheels on a path (aged around eight) and I nearly did a handstand on an adder basking in the sun. Practically frightened the life out of me! Strong memories. Thanks smiley - smiley

Thanks Anna. You r right about the larks. v much part of the experience. I am going to stick a bit about them in my copy. Cow pats and rabbit tussocks too. (Is that a word, I mean the little mounds that rabbits make around their warrens.) I hope they still have larks down there, its been a long time, and I heard they were disappearing.

I hope the skylarks don't disappear, that would be dreadful. Tussocks probably is the right word, but I'm not sure, not being a country lass! I always liked the word 'tuffet' for that sort of thing as in 'little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet'.
