A country Lane well-travelled sign was posted in plain sight.
Generations have journeyed along it’s way.
Some head down burdened by packs to carry, others dawdling along, stopping to admire the view.
Paths crossed and conversations exchanged, trading of animals, fruit and veg with a handshake.
Promises later to pay over a pint and a pipe in the pub Peddler too have passed through with trinkets to haggle.
On Village doorsteps, customers would gather to have a laugh and hear their sales patter.
Gossip too of loves and babies born, news of those that have sadly passed on.
It would be carried from place to place down the lanes, part of the convoluted chain of life in beautiful isolated places.
