Back to back storms swept the UK in the last few days. Humbling is how Kevin described the effect of wind on him, in our Elders group recamped to the Pear Tree. Humbling because whatever technology or progress we embody as humans, it is nothing compared to the power and force of nature. I watched the tall ash trees sway, held in their vascular system, elastically. The parachute came unpegged on one side, and behaved like a giant jellyfish.





Jo found a dead young swan, caught in the reeds at Holton Hall Park. I have never been so close to a swan to see and feel it’s enormous grace.
