Site Visit

A change of scenery today
I've swapped my Cumbrian fell view  
For a site visit with my husband 
he has important work to do 

Four hours on the busy roads
has brought us many miles from home
Now at our destination 
to the bland land of monochrome

I wait patiently in the car
all I see around me is grey
The sky, buildings and the lorries 
makes the most tedious display 

Hopefully he won’t be too long
we will soon be on our way
En route to our journeys end
a well deserved weekend away

Thanks for the likes, thanks also for the comments Ray, Leon and Stephen. Thankfully our destination of Oxford is proving much more scenic ?

This bought me sharply up to consider what is the "real world," is it nature or the control of it Julie. Often there is no beauty in functionality sadly. It reminds me of a gig I did in a carpet warehouse, no atmosphere.

In my job, when I worked, I visited many places all over the country but often never actually saw any of the town or city centres. Instead it was depots or offices on trading estates. As you say Julie, bland and grey.
