      Scarlet Ribbons

      Oct 20, 2022

      I was two when I came to love the tiny, red flowers that spilled over the worn doorstep of my first home and splattered the cracked pathway to the beck with vibrant colour. Like Hansel’s breadcrumbs, the scarlet pimpernel ribbon was my security on th

      THE air bites shrewdly,’ as the Bard would say, ‘it is very cold.’ So cold, in fact, that the roads are lethal with black ice, the puddles in the drive are frozen solid all day and the dogs pick their way across the frosty fields as if every step wer

      Befogged And Bewildered

      Nov 9, 2022

      FOG, with apologies to Dickens, everywhere. Fog up on the hill behind the house, fog down in the valley. Fog on our little stream, where it meanders through the water meadow. Fog in the town, fog in the village. Fog in the harbour, creeping into the

      The Field From The Archives

      Feb 11, 2021

      THE snow has gone. How soon we tire of it. And now, when old men of the countryside talk to me of the hard winters of ’95 and ’77 and ’63, I will remind them of that remarkable fantastic frost of 1940. Not far from Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire, seve

      Gather Ye Blackberries While Ye May

      Sep 30, 2020

      OFFICIALLY, summer is over. Michaelmas—something of a moveable feast, falling on September 29, or the 9th, or even October 10 according to fancy—marks the beginning of autumn. You wouldn’t have known it, as Oliver and I, burdened with farm implements

      THE FELLS... THE fells... Mention of our cover bird, the snow bunting, in its breeding haunts takes me straight back in memory to the majestic Arctic moorland of northernmost Norway. Summer 2014, this was. An overwhelming landscape: high ice-sheeted

      In The Northern Rockies, Winter Snows Bring A Flurry Of Hope

      Dec 19, 2022

      My father and I wade through knee-deep snow in December. Evening rushes into the ravine we climb, half the canyon cloaked in shade. The snow that softened in the sun is already freezing in the forest’s shadow.  Here, 500 feet above the Blackfoot Rive
