Peace perfect Peace!

My peaceful place.
You know every now and again you find a place that is so peaceful you have a job to go past it! Well this is my place. I leave for work 10 or 15 minutes early sometimes just so that I can stop here. It is on a B road between Usk and Chepstow. You get all of 1 car every 5 minutes or so along the road (except in the rush hours when you perhaps get double that number).
There always seems to be a plethora of birds singing all the year round and just sitting listening to them is such a joy.

Wild flowers such as Primroses, Cowslips, Violets & Bluebells are all there in abundance.
Behind where my bike is parked there
is a path that leads to a stream with a bridge over it and there are logs that have been made into seats the other side, you can't even hear the traffic from there, what there is of it!!
I always call here if I come home from work this way as it really is my chill out place. It is a forestry commission picnic site and therefore has a name which I forget (senior moment, but will write it down next time I am there).
It is a place that I just feel at peace with God and the world and so close to nature. I also find it is easy to wonder at God's creativity where there are so many of His wonderful creations in one small area.
