Time Away for Tales, Art, Play... Five decent working days on the St David's peninsula Head shots and sea knitting Cool april airs, keening and biting Sand martins twitch and flex the shore Over pebble rise and mer-skin lore Through ransom woods and bluebell swathe Beneath ‘the chapel of colouring in’ And a twin kestrel wave With hail and calm and white morning light Tall thunder rumbles and sleepy aurora nights Gusting eaves and lichen rich branches Crab apple sprigs and over indulgent lunches Five days of decent positive drifting Druidstone grafting, always uplifting All the more special in this timeless place Over watched by standing stones and imbued with white cat grace We look forward to returning... Poem by Christopher Jelley Thank you to Jackie Morris for the photograph of Cristopher and I by the Maen Dewi standing stone All Images Copyright Seven Fables

'...weather played ball and ravens danced in the air. Ponies and chough, hut circles and burial chambers. One step at a time.' Jackie Morris In February Jackie Morris and Tamsin Abbott walked with Clare Balding at St David's Head, a landscape Jackie is incredibly familiar with but only recently reunited with following her knee operation. They discuss this longed for reconnection to landscape and of course their collaboration, Wild Folk. If you missed tuning in, the programme is still currently available via BBC iPlayer...

Last we passed we spied scarlet elf-caps in this tidy copse amongst the ferns of winter they bloomed blood bright, a glade cut splinter sprouting neat from decaying elder limbs uniting acorn cups and Snow White's apple skins those spellbound peelings freckling the forest floor winking from the understory, perhaps numbering a score blooming out from the brash crisp as the woodpecker's cry secrets of Burgundy Chapel ruins so easy to wander by Scarlet Elf-Cap by Christopher Jelley of Seven Fables The ruins of Burgundy Chapel can be found near Minehead by following the wooded coast path, do seek them out if you are visiting Exmoor.
