Wilverely

This morning the shaded hollows on the heath are lightly dusted with frost like icing sugar on a Victoria sponge, hidden pools are thinly glazed with hardened water and the chill air threatens to desiccate any exposed skin; could it be, Jack has been kept at bay this season, is this his change or merely another false start, the rising Sun promises to scupper his plans mind. In Wilverely Enclosure a lonely machine feeds two smoking pyres with the detritus of timber harvesting and land restoration; the wind is slight and the thick smoke takes time to disperse, floating slowly amongst the remaining stands.

  1. Picked up your blog from a search on Chewton Bunny, just wondered if you knew about the proposed plans to put a skate park / mountain bike
    area in the region of the Bunny, you can read about it dorsetforyou.gov. i think it's outrageous as do many others.
    By the way i like your blog I must come back to check it out.
