Hardy Country: Swans on the River

 

Nice shot of two swans on the river as I was leaving Dorchester to head towards Stinsford church and Thomas Hardy's birthplace home of Higher Bockhampton.

Sadly won't be getting to Hardy country (Dorset) this year, because of the Covid-19 situation. Between 2016 and 2019, I really enjoyed hiking round Dorset (plus a bit of Wiltshire, Somerset, and Cornwall) seeing many places which influenced Hardy's novels, novellas, and poetry.

In Dorchester and the rural settings around Stinsford and Higher Bockhampton, Hardy's presence can't help but be felt.
