Tuesday 30 December 2008: Path
This is the path up to Kelston Round Hill from Bath, looking back towards the city. It's part of the Cotswold Way.
I finished reading No Country for Old Men this morning, a present from Sara for Christmas. Really enjoyed it... gritty stuff but very compelling. I don't often read books that quick. Here's a passage from towards the end:
"I had no say in the matter. Every moment in your life is a turning and every one a choosing. Somewhere you made a choice. All followed to this. The accounting is scrupulous. The shape is drawn. No line can be erased. I had no belief in your ability to move a coin to your bidding. How could you? A person's path through the world seldom changes and even more seldom will it change abruptly. And the shape of your path was visible from the beginning."
