Winter on the Moorings

As we begin to enter the depths of winter, this episode celebrates with a soundscape of winter at the moorings that tries to capture the life and energy of this season.  

Journal entry:

“18h January, Tuesday.

A rich winter moon hangs between the branches of the ash. 
 Beneath a sky veiled in ice, sheep 
 The colour of worn lead face the first glow of dawn.

Penny picks up the scent of rabbits
 We walk together on crystals and silence."
