Mountains, Moorlands, and Moth


Hard at work, today ... There is, indeed, continuity in my work obsessions.  My last full book chapter is on Moorlands and peat bogs - on Millais and Moran, among others - but truly, this is involves going back to environmental interests that are so long-standing that my copy of W. H. Pearsall's Mountains and Moorlands, in Fontana's "New Naturalist" series, cost 12s 6d.  That's pre-decimal ... I wonder where my school project on Tregaron Bog, in Cardiganshire, has got to?  Moth, as you can tell, is unimpressed.

    Moth has claimed the book for a pillow. Clever girl!
