  • L3 (Day 73): Cow Tower

    Over-shadowing this sculpted turn of the Wensum, cracked from sky to soil, it is still here, still recognisable, still standing. ~ CLP 20/03/2021 →

  • L3 (Day 72): Three Score

    What a day of light to enjoy before this year’s Spring Equinox. Even before I drew back my bedroom curtains the day sounded sunny. The air was soft. The birdsong sharp. The sound of passing cars subdued. It has been a delight to get outside and walk on more open ground by the Yare, once →

  • L3 (Day 71): The Waterfront

    This hulk retains buoyancy despite it all, but to what end? Is remaining afloat enough? Is there still life in this wreck? ~ CLP 18/03/2021 →

  • On The Table

    Security is required to ensure birds make it to dinner ~ n.b. What goes on in these pristine sheds, behind this steel fence, in what passes for turkey farming in parts of Norfolk? ~ CLP 18/03/2021 →

    What a sight. This site to let. Things can only get better. ~ CLP 16/03/2021 →

  • On Knowing

    All the sky’s power conducted to Earth down this narrow metal strip ~ n.b. As soon as I saw it I knew what it was. I was struck by the fact that I had not been this close to a lightning conductor before, yet eventually recognised it for what it was, not unlike Love. ~ →

  • On Leaving

    Of all the advice I’ve ever had, the best is Close the door gently ~ n.b. Or stay and talk things through. Kettle on? ~ CLP 14/03/2021 →

  • L3 (Day 67): Nowhere Lane

    Which sorceress named this Norfolk track? It’s right here, in Great Witchingham. ~ n.b. …or is it? It was a long cycle ride today. Perhaps I was hallucinating so desperate was I for a cuppa at Reepham & Whitwell Junction (take away only) café. ~ →
