Sitting on the porch of the oak wood cabin. In the distance a train passes through the landscape. Over head corvids - rooks - furry around. 59 years ago, my mother gave birth to me. What remains of her in my minds eye is fleeting, but always warm. December 11th Wentworth. 'We're here on Honeymoon'… Continue reading 2016 December 10th

2016 December Tundra
Yesterday we laid Tundra to rest in the woodland. Tundra, a name denoting an earth soil where tree growth is hindered, from Russian meaning uplands, treeless mountain tract, was laid to rest amongst English Hornbean and Oak. I’d first met Tundra through Kali, naturally. He fell in love with her, although didn’t tell me, and slipped… Continue reading 2016 December Tundra

2016 November – Work starts on Cabin
Spurred on by Paul, (non of us are getting any younger), we start. Simultaneous to Bung renovations which means I will not be able to join in as much as I'd like and finances will be impossible but something will sort out, and instinctively I somehow know Paul is right. If not now, when. The… Continue reading 2016 November – Work starts on Cabin

2016 April Bob and events
Bob is strong today. News from Bayard is that the Brothers are visiting and clearing out the house. He is given notice to move. They say nothing to me. The birds sing, make nests. The dog sleeps. The van is almost complete. I still find it odd, the space in my day, in which I… Continue reading 2016 April Bob and events
2016 Spring Equinox, gardens and fires
Vernal equinox, when the day is equal to the night before the tilt of our earth unbalances. Rupert was up. Sara and Jeremy came, Colin too. Pig Shit arrives thanks to Dave the farmer. With the help of MJ Jo, Dave and a command from Barry, it is shovelled into 2 gardens. Enjoyable banter in… Continue reading 2016 Spring Equinox, gardens and fires
2016 Feb Stumpery and hard standing
Mark Woolnaugh's team, led by Lee, made the base of the shed, and put down hard standing, which will enable us to drive onto the site, and park on the useful hard standing, left by the WW2 hospital site. With some help, I’ve created a stumpery, using the oak stumps I had dredged out… Continue reading 2016 Feb Stumpery and hard standing
