This time of year has always felt to me like a new beginning. A time for looking back at special times and places, and also for looking forward with excited anticipation.The land has always held a fascination for me. From being very young I have been entranced by the atmosphere of places.
This year I'm celebrating the beginning of November by re-reading parts of an artistic journal I kept several years ago, while painting the landscape at Grey Towers, Nunthorpe.

Writing this blog-post was prompted by reading 'Endless Renewal and Other Things' at Solitary Walker's blog - always an inspiring read! It was through reading this and Nature's Whispers blog that I learned that now is the time of the Celtic New Year.
