Goodnight friends! Damp clinging cold and intermittent drizzle again, whispering against leaves as they bob and shiver. Paths edged by tiny purple-striped speedwells and dainty white bittercress, huddled beneath plumey wild.grasses and the looming, jagged prehistoric leaves of giant hogweed.

Mildly sapped of concentration and stamina by the cool damp atmosphere, thankfully not too much pain, but the kind of day that passes in a slow blur of effort – eating, standing, getting dressed all feel like mountainous efforts.

May we find companionship and fellow-feeling through our celebrations and heartaches today!
