It’s been a couple of weeks of blustery weather, and with the wind howling its way through my window frames it has furthered my desire to go into hibernation much like my beloved dormice! But alas I cannot, and with the majority of the weeks spent hedgelaying (something I am rapidly starting to dislike) I’ve kept my eyes open for the tiny details that can bring some highlights.
So the last two weeks – I’ll be honest – have been a bit tough mentally, as the nights have drawn in and it’s been feeling like the end of the day at just 2 o’clock in the afternoon everything seems to have become sluggish and tiring. It’s an unpleasant shock to the system. And to emphasise the worst of this time of year the clouds have drawn in too, and the rains are well and truly here.
But it’s not all bad and even in all the dreary grey there are some beautiful moments if you take the time to notice them, like early morning mist creeping across the autumn fields of gold, green and brown…
