7 Sunday 18th December 2011 3.30pm It has been a wild week with high winds and snow. It settled very briefly and there are still traces in the dark hollows. It is very cold now and I had to wrap up with many, many layers in order to paint. Again a green woodpecker flew from some bushes across my path as I approached the painting spot. It really feels like the middle of winter with Christmas approaching. The sun is low and slanting but it eventually came round enough to break into the dark north-west facing side of the valley. Someone lit a fire down in Coombe and a drift of blue grey smoke rose slowly into the air. Pete Pritchard walked by and said the field just to the left of my composition used to be known as the swan field as the road snakes up above it like a swan’s neck.
