Footprints<br />

The sky is pregnant with snow behind the grey church tower. My journey<br />

begins to fall, making it hard to see far ahead.<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 />

neve comincia a cadere, rendendo difficile guardare lontano.<br />
