Footprints<br />
The sky is pregnant with snow behind the grey church tower. My journey<br />
from Dedham to Flatford is fraught this afternoon; I’m racing the coming<br />
snowstorm. Slogging through pastures yellow with cowslips in spring, snow<br />
begins to fall, making it hard to see far ahead.<br />
shortest day<br />
willow shadows<br />
lengthen<br />
Following the frozen Stour’s course, I see a light in the distance, enticing me<br />
onwards through the relentless snowfall; it must be Flatford Mill. I count the<br />
giant pollards as usual; only six more remain before the bridge is reached.<br />
collapsing<br />
within sight of home<br />
the fire roars<br />
Inspired by a Study of a Barge on the Stour at Dedham in Snow by Alfred<br />
Munnings.
