I like sunshine in winter. It’s better after a grey day. The pleasure is greater. I could see many things in the distance – but I am not sure what! I must search on a map. There’s more to be seen in winter – there are no leaves on the trees. Things become visible in winter that go out of sight in summer. There’s a nest in this tree. I didn’t notice this white house before. But look! With my new camera I can see every tail feather of that crow in the tree. There are two crows in another distant tree. There are many white houses visible in the winter sun. In the past they were painted white with lime for hygiene. Now they are just pretty. I like maps on the internet. Here’s a very white place on this map. Near St Austell there are claypits – it’s The China Clay District – with China clay or kaolin. Can I see it in the distance? Or is it more behind the far hill?
