A Fruitless Detour.

From the distant vantage point of Church Lane today, I saw someone who looked like M’Lady S wheeling a wheelbarrow across their field. Being ever the opportunist, I walked around that way in the hope of paying obeisance to said Lady in person.

I wasn’t to be. The Little Princess was in evidence, frolicking around the same field, but the only evidence of the Lady’s presence was a mere hint of black hair floating briefly across the inner courtyard of the Forbidden City. This is a place to which the raggle-taggle peasantry of my ilk are not permitted without explicit invitation, and so I wended my lonely way homeward.
