A little video I put together today 9th January 2022, from a walk I took on Sunday the 2nd of January 2022. I had a bit of a think about some of the things I said on the ascent. I probably hadn’t walked up that particular hill for over a year given the injury I’d had in 2021.
The tree that had a fallen limb is a Beech and was probably once just a part of a hedge on top of a drystone wall, clearly, the hedge was abandoned in some far distant time, and now the row of trees straddles the remains of the wall. It’s a mixture of bark-covered root structures and dry-stone walling, a symbiosis of two manmade artefacts writing their own rules in the absence of man’s attendance.
I said at the end “I came I saw I reacquainted.” And that
was the case, walking up that hill was symbolic to me and to me alone. I needed
it to underline the fact that after a fairly horrible 2021, that I had come
back to Somerset, fitter and stronger than I have been for over a year, and
could enjoy the breathtaking view from the Trig-Point beneath Shervage Wood,
and share some old lore, and tree knowledge.
