Low along the Fox Paths

Send us Fan Mail It’s a wild and wet July night of wind and rain. So why not step aboard for a while as we meander down some fox trails and contemplate the pleasure of sunshine and dark skies. Journal entry: 11th July, Tuesday “A quarter to midnight. Lying in bed and listening To the drum of rain On the cabin roof. All day I have watched the dark Clouds boil in the cauldron Of the west. Storm heads tower In castle greys. Maggie and I stood On the hill with no name Watching the ragged veils Of cloud-tear Sweep towards us It falls like brush strokes Played on a snare drum.” Episode Information: In this episode I read a very short extract from the Ladybird Book What to look for in Summer by E.L. Grant Watson (1960) published by Wills and Hepworth. I also read the following Sabbath Poems XXII and XXIII by Wendell Berry (2013) published by Catapult.
