Places that have been saved up for the right day

There's a tiny lane I've been driving along for the last fifteen years or so. It's a bit of a rat run for people avoiding Thatcham and I used to use it to get the girls to Gym classes on time (which meant assuming not much traffic and driving a good deal faster than I would now consider safe -though I'm much slower all round now so that doesn't necessarily mean I'm any safer)
So I've driven past this bit of bank - oh - possibly a few thousand times in all kinds of weather and light. Naturally, for the past fifteen years I've been thinking "must stop and take a photo of that one day".
Well yesterday was the day :)
And then just recently I drove past an old gate and thought - Ah! 3.30 on a sunny evening when I'm not rushing to music group or shopping or lessons.
Then of course there was yesterday's 'shopping' expedition by the lake. With the sun shining and sparkles all over the water. And ripples and stuff.
And finally, the blossom has been out for ages but I keep missing the bits I really wanted in the light that would bring it out best. But yesterday was the day - all over again.It doesn't really take a lot to make me happy. Just an hour or four, in good light, in the right place, at the right time. I'm like a kid in a 'Ler Leckerland' (I'll tell you the story some time - my Dutch grandmother used to tell me it and it means, literally, 'the delicious land'. Where everything is made of lovely food')
Oh ok. Like a kid in a sweet shop. But we don't have sweet shops like that any more.
