I’ve spent fifty years, on and off, trying to recreate the wonder that Gavin Maxwell’s beautiful writing set light to when I was a child of eleven years. Through painting, photography, writing (and latterly poetry) I enjoy a sense of that original wonder – of an intimate, enthusiastic, headlong, close-up plunge into nature – in all it’s forms. This blog is a way of sharing that; and of sharing the work of others engaged in a similar quest.
