Wednesday 30.01.2013

Blowing a hooley most of the day: the wind buffetted us around as we leant into it going up the hill but once in the woods it was tamer.

Despite the relative calm on the ground, the tops of the trees thrashed about, roaring like a churning sea while branches clattered together or tumbled to the ground: natural percussion, accompanied at intervals by the screech of swinging metal gates or a wail as the wind fluted across the tops of them.

This has made me want to research music created from nature: somewhere there must be a musical Andy Goldsworthy?


Pools and lakes and rivers of snow still lying about in places










while elsewhere the melt-water runs down the road












but plenty of greenery too.






Wind-assisted on the way down the hill arriving back slightly quicker than usual, breathless but very pleased with ourselves.
