Words on Wednesday.

“At times it seemed unfair that I should be paid for my work; for driving out in the early morning with the fields glittering under the first pale sunshine and the wisps of mist still hanging on the high tops.”

“And I could find other excuses to get out and sit on the crisp grass and look out over the airy roof of Yorkshire. It was like taking time out of life. Time to get things into perspective and assess my progress.”

“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” 

James Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small
