The farmer, I suppose - I really can't see any reason why someone *else* would come and mow a small strip of his field shorter - but I really don't know what for!
Thank you! I am so pleased that the image works for you.
At first I was just going to have them streaming behind, but then I thought that the impression Tolkien gives is a fair tail wind all the way and so, logically, the pennants would blow in the direction of travel - and I rather liked the image.
I was tempted to spend my writing time today on the personal journal, because I really love doing that. But. But. But. I have to get my Easter story done:)
I suppose a track leading from nowhere to nowhere is unexciting (thinking here of many a hike we've taken in the woods and tried a side-path which winds up nowhere), but I love the way you put it. By adding 'in particular' to make it 'nowhere in particular', it evokes an image of a once-upon-a-time short-cut, now fallen into disuse.
Tell me about it, the cancellation of the Formula 1 in Melbourne was an even bigger fiasco - major teams had to start withdrawing before they did it!
But the skating... it is a dampener on what was going to be a weekend of streaming all night and sleeping all day, and it's annoying that they left it until all the skaters and many fans had travelled across the world, and THEN only cancelled because the Quebec authorities overruled them.
Hey, those two in the icon are among the 'good looking' people I was trying to write descriptions of for practice the other day, and complained about how much harder it was...
