The happiest days of our lives

Thu, Aug 25, 2022

It may be a cliché but the old adage that the happiest days of our lives were the ones we spent at school would be true for most people.

These are usually sanctuaries within the landscape, threshold sites that enable us to step back from the hullabaloo of daily existence and allow us to access something grander and otherworldly, something infinite and unknown.
