A little buttercup of damp woodland edges. Found these in the old holloway near Woodthorpe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Greenoak was the old name for the area of Sheffield in which I live. This is my attempt to capture it and the countryside at the edge of the city. Other photos can be seen on my flickr site.

Ramblings from the city's edge. Wednesday, 28 April 2010. Oak, Totley Hall Farm. Ancient oak, Totley Hall Farm May 1st. Originally uploaded by goldsally. I love 'em. Can't bear to think what the landscape might become. 29 April 2010 at 07:12. Good to see you back Sally! I love oak trees too, have a lovely one in my garden. I had heard a while ago that there is a new disease affecting them - lets just hope that it doesnt have the same effect as Dutch Elm Disease did - that would be a tragedy.

Ramblings from the city's edge. Tuesday, 22 December 2009. John Donne and the shortest day. A Nocturnal upon St Lucy's Day, being the shortest day". Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's,. Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks;. The sun is spent, and now his flasks. Send forth light squibs, no constant rays;. The whole world's sap is sunk;. The general balm the hydroptic earth hath drunk,. Whither, as to the bed's-feet, life is shrunk,. Dead and interred; yet all these seem to laugh,.

Greenoak Journal: Fieldfares
http://greenoakjournal.blogspot.com/2009/12/fieldfares.html
Ramblings from the city's edge. Friday, 11 December 2009. Why do I seem to write this blog mostly in Winter? Perhaps I find it the most beautiful of seasons - especially when it is under such threat. Today the real symbols of midwinter burst out of the bony trees near Woodthorpe - a clatter of fieldfares. Here is what John Clare has to say in a gem of a sonnet:. Emmonsails Heath in Winter. I love to see the old heath's withered brake. Mingle its crimpled leaves with furze and ling. Nice to see you back a...

John Clare Journal: 27th April 1825
http://johnclarejournal.blogspot.com/2010/04/27th-april-1825.html
Heard the Cuckoo for the first time this Season — it was said to be heard a week back by a Shepherd — Saw the large Grey Wagtail. I think it a bird of passage as I have never seen it in winter — some young Plants of Ash and Maple showing leaf — Saw a bird with a dark line over each ear I think it one ot the fly catchers.

John Clare Ephemera: Intercity (Newcastle/London)
http://johnclareephemera.blogspot.com/p/intercity-newcastlelondon.html
The rail crossing on Glinton Road, Helpston]. Flicking on through landscape's pages. The 530 at a hundred. Accelerates hard down the map. Personal videos, smooth sound,. Incessant announcements of guard. And steward seek to convince us. We're flying - which we almost are. I try to notice things. I just watch speed, the furniture. Of Intercity East Coast ticking past. With a low whistle of blurred lines. Two hours on, stirring, glancing up. From an in-flight magazine. I see there's a changed sky. 172 year...

John Clare Ephemera: You owe it to yourself to visit John Clare country
http://johnclareephemera.blogspot.com/p/you-owe-it-to-yourself-to-visit-john.html
You owe it to yourself to visit John Clare country. Clare’s poetry is strange, intense, wonderfully sensuous – and magical. Every few yards our mounts shuddered and twitched and twisted their heads back under sustained and vicious assault from the evil clegs. Sometimes, you could see the blood. ‘Kill them! Anyway, days later, I was reading the July entry from my monthly literary treat The. At first, like Betjeman, he feels a bit of a guilty pleasure. The simple, mind-numbingly repetitive, ti-tum-ti-t...
