Today, needed Turner, so an hour in the Clore with Malene Sheppard Skaerved, and JMWT’s ‘Crossing the Brook’, one of his Devon pictures from 1815, which I have loved since I was little.

David Matthews 12th Quartet (with Bartok 3 as the bubbling upbeat!). Flying leaves, practice, ink, white gouache, colour pencils, and a Sharpie.26-27 October
First walk in the Vidden (Bergen) 27th September 2013

Prelude to Pre-Amble. Michael Alec Rose and I will be walking Dartmoor at the end of November. In the meantime, the granite, the water, the heather, the moss, the folklore, the darkness seeps in….15 10 13

Epping-Sheppard’s Meadow-Amesbury Banks (pictured)-The Four Wantz-Warren Hill-Qvist’s Oak-Loughton Camp-Mount Pleasant-Queen Elisabeth’s Hunting Lodge-and the best Fly Agaric we’ve ever seen, plus Sloe bushes bent over with fruit and wonderful Crab Apples on Chingford plain. 5/10/13

the joys of recording Australian music on a damp weekend in the Chilterns….light rain forced a pause for green tea on a bench under a huge yew tree in Aldbury Churchyard-looking over the fence at Chantry Row Cottages, with the Ashridge behind.
