About This Book

A bicycle journey from London to the Quantock Hills during an early spring, combining close natural observation, travel impressions, and reflective essays on landscape and weather. The narrator records changing light, flora and fauna, rural towns and plains, encounters with local history and three Wessex poets, and a movement from winter's residue toward spring's arrival. Descriptive sketches alternate with contemplative passages about seasonal mood, memory, and the slow discovery of the sea and open hills.

IN PURSUIT OF SPRING

PADDINGTON CANAL.

“So far the life of men moving to and fro across the bridges was like the old life that I knew, though down below upon the sparkling waters many birds were alighting, or were already seated like wondrous blossoms upon the bulwarks of a barge painted in parrot colours red and green.”
