3rd November 2026 Splashes of yellow on the hill slopes made me think of beacons lit in old times to communicate, to rally troops or warn of the advance of an enemy. How nice if mankind could find a way to exist in peace rather than perfecting the art of war. . Speaking of perfection... … Continue reading Image-maker
07:54. 4th November 2026 At long last it is raining. A good thing since although there has been no mention locally of drought, water courses have been looking on the dry side for some time now.

A week ago I was hard put to find evidence of it, bar a scattering of trees that seemingly couldn't wait to get started. But in the past few days Fall seems to have got a kick … Continue reading Further evidence…
19th September 2026 As we returned from Burlington, the sky began to cloud over and the light changed. . Usually, the return journey is the less interesting, but this day was the opposite. In the above area, hundreds of plastic-covered hay bales dotted the fields. . In the changing light, I saw that the countryside … Continue reading Sabotage
06:58 15th September 2026 While I miss the lovely long evenings of Summer, it is nice to be able to watch the dawn again without having to get up at an indecently early hour. Daybreak often brings a nice surprise that has me abandon breakfast to run outside. . 07:01 16th September 2026 That is … Continue reading Making a date
