Alone at sunrise I wander
through
Curling ferns, purple heather
and gorse
Heavy, sultry air still moist
From silver, shadowed cool of
night
On dew-silk grass, my feet
lightly tread
Its silent memories, not so
distant,
Fill my head
Through early morning mists
Buttercup song and gleeful

An ancient dream

Magnificent and vast
As broad as the boughs of Majestic
Oaks that stand
On the jewelled, gossamer threads
That still remain.
(Sutton Heath, Suffolk)
I grew up on the outskirts of Ipswich, the surrounding woods, meadows, riverbanks and heathland were my playground. Through my teenage years, I watched in dismay as, one by one, these places disappeared under tonnes of concrete, replaced by industrial estates, superstore complexes, housing estates and road systems.
