P1640159

A circular walk to meet the Eastern GST Voles at Raven's Heath, Maulden Woods on 24/11/2020 from Maulden Church along the Greensand Ridge Walk noting some of the fungi,lichen and plants on the way. The Voles were in two "bubbles" of six each in proximity to each groupr at TL072383. Some Sycamore regrowth was coppiced for spoon making and Dave cleared a way for the Land Rover to access the bottom land for fence repair purposes. This henceforth will be known as Dave's gap. I met assorted dogs and a pair of horse riders.

 

.Solitude or Loneliness

 

Noon in November upon the seat

Upon the ridge, under the pines

The wind roars ceaselessly

Crows occasionally call

 

The distant sound, a digger reversing

As the boughs above creak

Here I sit wondering how the years

reflect the passing landscape.

 

Alone, the cool of the wind on my face

Sitting aloof not knowing

Should I feel happy and content

or be that lost lonely soul.

 

 

24/11/2020 1pm on a Voles Tuesday

Sat on the carved bench having my Eat Natural

bar contemplating not a lot before

I become sociable again with the voles
