Almost preternaturally still this afternoon as we walked up the hill under a grey duvet of cloud, plumped-up overhead but not actually threatening rain.


Damp and mild,the greyness as always somehow drawing out the green

but it was the silence that was most noticeable, deafening in fact,it is so rare to have no air movement at all up here.



Realised on the way back down that the beasts finally seem to have gone from the fields though only a few days ago they were enjoying the last of the grass

Reading an intriguing book just now but more of that later.........
