There's been a lot of development locally on what was a mining stronghold. This industrial estate is giving way to a residential development and the bricks dropping into the little stream caught my eye. The land on the borders gives the truest indication of where we want to be. Does work bleed into home life (or any other intersections in our lives) and which do we choose to protect? It's easy to let things happen rather than make the choice and not always easy to shore up the defences. But might well be worth it
