Alban Eilir: Spring Equinox

March 20, 2022

Spring has most definitely sprung in my little corner of the world and now we have reached the point in the year where we start to get more hours of sunshine than night I am starting to feel a little brighter too. There is a magic in finding a way to align your own personal … More Alban Eilir: Spring Equinox

This Sparks Joy! July 2021

July 20, 2021

As I type this the sun is spliting the stones from a powder blue sky and the few clouds that are visible are the shining white of freshly fallen snow. It’s also rather hot (at least as far as the UK goes) so my time in the garden is limited to the early mornings when … More This Sparks Joy! July 2021

A Year in the Woods: June

July 14, 2021

June is the month where I see quite a lot of 4 o’clock in the morning thanks to a body which really likes waking up with the sun. Not that I’m complaining since it means that I pretty much get the woods to myself and, if I’m quiet, see the young rabbits and foxes and … More A Year in the Woods: June

This Sparks Joy! June 2021

June 20, 2021

June has, up until the past few days, been almost too warm for comfort but I’ve done my best not to complain because bright sunshine really does make me feel so much better about everything. It also generates a profusion of flowers and ensures my early morning walks are accompanied by the most fervent dawn … More This Sparks Joy! June 2021

A Year in the Woods: May

May 31, 2021

I know that May is supposed to be the beginning of summer but to me it is the pinnacle of spring. This is the month where the trees don their gowns of blossom to dance with the breeze and the meadows fill with flowers. It is the month of bees, birdsong, and the bright joy … More A Year in the Woods: May

A Year in the Woods: April

April 30, 2021

April is my favourite month of the year and not just because it is my birthday month. It’s because this is the month when spring is properly sprung and the mix of flowers and the greenness of the new budding leaves is lush enough to drown in, should you be so inclined to do so. … More A Year in the Woods: April

Outdoor Advent Day 6

December 6, 2020

In the Ramtops village where they dance the real Morris dance, for example, they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away – until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. … More Outdoor Advent Day 6

Walking the Day Away

September 23, 2018

As the sun came out I decided that Alban Elfed would be a good day to go for my first walk in the woods since Marmite died. It was a little bitter sweet but I definitely needed the fresh air and to see the start of the changing of the season for myself. Now for … More Walking the Day Away

Sunshine and procrastination

May 1, 2011

It is such a glorious day outside that I’m having trouble staying motivated to the task at hand – trying to complete drafts of my two final pieces of OU course work. Suffice to say I’ve spent more of the day in the sun than behind my keyboard! Having said that I have been getting … More Sunshine and procrastination
