I began blogging
The Blue Remembered Hills is an occasional journal of home: the journey to and from and how despite always being there, we can never go back.
Also, I appended the source of my blog name, a quotation from A.E Houseman's A Shropshire Lad.
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
This is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain.
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
My blog has given me such pleasure, far more than I ever could have expected, and I want to thank you all for that. For me, the Blue Remembered Hills has become the happy highways where I go - I see that shining plain. Thank you.
