It is the equinox and summer is turning to autumn, berries in the hedgerows and falling leaves.It’s a beautiful September this year, clear skies and sunshine. But the seasons are turning.
All summer this sandy bank was a bustle of sand martins, dashing back and forth, raising their young. The skies were filled with their cries, and their dropping splattered over any cars that foolishly parked too close.
But last week they left. Their nest holes lie empty. The skies are silent. Autumn is here.
Time for me to turn away from the fields and woods and get on with some writing…
'get onb with some writing' is a phrase rattling around my head too. Thanks for reminding me it's the equinox.

Hope you are having a great day and looking forward to a great weekend!

Hello from Australia,
ReplyDeleteI came over here from Nicola's blog - great site!
Thanks for an interesting read.
Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of the empty sand martin nest - really melancholy. It sounds like your signing in Dorchester went really well - I was in the Waterstones yesterday buying books about the Navy for Fred.
How is your writing going?
