Trooping funnel #wildflowerhour
This ring of fungi was about 3m in diameter. Can they be aged, like the rings of a tree?

I recommend a drive through Grangemouth refinery which is even more impressive. All that pipework! How do you design something like that?

Sunday, for fear of the elders,
I sit on my bum.
What’s heaven? A sea chest with a thousand gold coins.

Friday I held a seaman’s skull,
Sand spilling from it
The way time is told on kirkyard stones.

Thursday I got nothing, seaweed,
A whale bone,
Wet feet and a loud cough.

Wednesday a half can of Swedish spirits.
I tilted my head.
The shore was cold with mermaids and angels.

Tuesday a spar of timber worth thirty bob.
Next winter
It will be a chair, a coffin, a bed.

Monday I found a boot
Rust and salt leather.
I gave it back to the sea, to dance in.

After losing all its leaves due to salt burn after the storm a few week ago, this sycamore tree on Easdale has started sprouting new leaves in response. It will be interesting to see how they cope with autumn.
