Green view

Green view


The view from my bedroom window, of the birches in full summer leaf on the mill leat, is beautiful enough to tempt me to lie in, like Marcel Proust author of A La Recherche de Temps Perdu (Recollection of Past time)who spent most of his adult life lying in bed. There is another good book by a man who was confined to his room: Voyage autour de ma chambre (Journey Round My Room) by Xavier de Maistre 1763-1852
