Up in the Astons…

the wind is an unbroken sigh in the trees. There’s no word or phrase to mimic that sound, you have to be hearing it to know it. I’ve caught it a few times on my recent tramps, one season nudging another into the past. We climb out of the wood into a field of sunflowers, spot the Eyecatcher raised jagged on a slope, a tease of ruin for the longhorn cows down at Rousham.
