Space, silence, and birdsong

Here's a little bit of footage from Lud's Church.


I realise I haven't done much by way of actual writing on this here blog of late, but my head is a bit too crowded, things are hectic, and I haven't much space to allow the thoughts and words to flow at the present time.

Spaces like the above are a suitable antidote, it would be nice to have more of that.

Thank you for sharing this exquisite "bonne bouche" (I think that means tasty morsel) of your trip. Slips down a treat.

Glad you like it, Signs - just wish I'd filmed more.

I wish you'd filmed more that was gorgeous. It's one of those places that fill my head in dark times and having a film of it would be lovely

Sotig the soul.

Sorry, my keyboard. I meant soothing the soul.

*happy sigh*

Lemme just pick a rock, any rock to sit on....and give a long listen.

Perfect.
And thank you for sharing it.
(thank you, byrdie for pointing me in the direction for a listen...)

Merry ME said...

I, too, came from Byrdie's place. It was worth the trip. It does look like the kind of place I need to be to settle my nerves and renew my soul. Thanks for sharing it with us.

P.S. I can't say why exactly, but I love the picture of the jeans on the clothesline. Is there a story behind the name?

I did take more film, fire byrd, it just didn't capture the atmosphere as well. I wish I'd left it rolling for a little while longer though. Maybe on a future occasion.

Haha, typo excused, Paula! Soothing to the extent that your fingers slipped on the keyboard :)

Thank you in turn, mel, I'm glad you appreciated it. As I might have mentioned in a previous post (did I? I'm not sure - but anyway) I could happily sit there - or places like that - for long periods of time. Bliss.

Pretty much the same goes for you, merry me, thank you too. Oddly enough, I was wondering aloud to fire byrd on the day of the walk, as to whether it was time to update that photo: maybe I'll leave it there for a little while longer.

There isn't, incidentally, much of a story behind the name. Well not a particularly interesting one anyway. But, as a name, it's innocuous and it makes me laugh - hence the appeal, for me at least.

Very nice - where is that?

Those birds don't realise how beautiful their surroundings are.

zhisou, it's Lud's Church in Staffordshire (see previous post also), in part of the Peak District.

Birds, I think, are able to take a lot for granted. Flying, for starters...
