Down by the Quay

Cold, grey and wet - the forecast assured us there would be sun - seriously wrong. It's been a day of bagging cards and catching up with indoor jobs. We were feeling a bit stir crazy and went out for a walk nonetheless - a quick yomp around the circuit. A fishing boat was going out with lobster pots and the reflections were nice down by the quay.

Track 2 - Greensleeves, here sung by Loreena McKennit in a suitably spine tingly way. This piece of music seems to have bobbed along quietly and comfortingly beside me for most of my life, occasionally leaping to the for. I remember having to learn it on my recorder when I was little; scrutinising the lyrics and connotations when the Tudors were (frequently) being studied; and listening to my class perform it at my leaving service in England. It never fails to delight - so English but here sung by a Canadian with Irish roots. Supposedly written by King Henry VIII  when he was still the golden boy.
And two new converts to Nirvana - Lady Marchmont and my brother Patroclus, who hadn't encountered them before! I'm enjoying this, but also like Kendall's idea that 10 books should be recommended and one piece of music.
