Stiperstones



I've had a lovely day at the Stiperstones today, a place beloved of Mary Webb. No photographs can do justice to this wild and wonderful place. Even though it's a short drive from Shrewsbury you really feel as if you're in a beautiful wilderness. The walk along the Ridgeway is really tough underfoot, and it was windy as hell today, but I really came away feeling alive. A very precious feeling indeed.

It would be a real tragedy if the National Grid goes ahead with its plan to site a series of pylons here. The energy the human race needs in order to run our resources always comes at a price, but this would just be too much.


A little more progress on Secret Dancer. I'm really hoping to knuckle down to work on this tomorrow. Hopefully there's a little wildness in this drawing as well.
