this frothy white climbing plant, which isn't old man's beard but looks a little like it, had parted nicely into a heart shape to give me a view across the valley to the small village of slad in gloucestershire. slad is notable for being the home and final resting place of laurie lee, whose book cider with rosie is a description of growing up in the village from his arrival at the age of three in 1917. having bought a cottage there with the proceeds from the book, he returned to live permanently in slad during the 1960s after being away for some thirty years. i darkened it with a lightroom preset and then added a texture in photoshop as i wanted to finish up with a moody image
