Watched this beautiful, haunting film on Netflix yesterday. The soundtrack too was beautiful. This song by Nick Cave played over the closing credits (apologies in advance for any mandatory commercials).

Walking from Huish in deepest Wiltshire today. Hollow ways, deer leaping across our path, even a little stone circle - a feature in an amazing garden which has a right of way running through it.

Just been listening to Keir Starmer on Private Passions (BBC radio 3). Mostly classical apart from Edwyn Collins and his last choice - liked by his 14 year old daughter. Who'd of guessed. Frankie Wilson and the best dance/soul record ever made.

60 years before train passengers spotted hill figures at Westbury or Uffington, the White Horse of Cherhill was the subject of 'first to spot' it wagers for those travelling to and from Bath for the season. This is a period interior. The view is a late Victorian painting by James Pegrum.

St. Andrew's Church, Wanborough - one of only three churches in the UK with both a tower and spire. The other two being Purton, (also near Swindon) and Ormskirk, Lancashire.

Not quite the autumn equinox yet - it felt like it today though out at Avebury and Waden Hill. A warm wind and racing clouds. Days like these don't come around too often.
