'Fields of Gold' - Betws yn Rhos - 11.8.2020
Back in time again... to last August, during one of my 'Lockdown Walks', I came across these beautiful 'Fields of Gold', swaying in the Westerly Wind en route to my home in the nearby village of Betws yn Rhos, Conwy, North Wales. The North Wales Coast is also just below the distant tree line.
The crop is Barley which immediately reminded me of Sting's Cover Version of that classic popular song released in June 1993 - entitled 'Fields of Gold' whose opening lyrics are.....
" You'll remember me when the West Wind moves upon the
fields of Barley...."
Then that was 27 years ago. As well as humming the song, I started reflecting on some of my experiences during that period and what changes I'd witnessed in this ever rapidly changing world of ours!
