The Mountain Code!
This was insipired by memories of my father’s lusty singing of the humourous 'National Anthem of the Ancient Britons' or the 'Woad Ode' (to tune of Men of Harlech) I didn’t know it by that title but just by some of the words and tune (see links) I used to enjoy the fun, rhythm and fun rhymes. What I’ve written comes from thinking about it but is nothing like it.

Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2020
I was trying to see if I could capture the waving of the barley fields on camera up the road last night. I presume you are above and close to the sea, where you are in this? Lovely to stop and see the insects and the swallows darting around....

Thanks. We were impressed with Springwatch this year focusing on the benefit of many in lockdown having the time and peace to notice, and enjoyment and distraction from little things in nature all around them. More sensitive to beauty and peace...

Have you had great trouble, Jane? Grief and bereavement can never be fully imagined, and as you intimate, shake everything to the core, and you are suddenly walking a parallel life, cocooned. Rhiannon

Posted on Thu, 21 May 2020
My mother-in-law (100!) is in a care home, and visitors aren't able to go in. She can't hear much, and we were concerned she would be very disturbed, not understanding, and as she had seemed very dependant on our visits. She can't hear well on...

Snapshots of time, cut off

Snapshots of time, cut off from the before and after and the larger stories. But memories can often fill in some more and at least remember more of character and incidents if we were there, but still as you say diaphonous aware we only...

Posted on Fri, 01 May 2020
Thank you, Jenny. It's good you feel that. Attention is always being drawn to when there are squabbles about social distancing and ignoring of the rules, instead of celebrating the good that is coming out of it with increased care not rushing...
