A poem by me: Old Hag Show yourself. Who are you, to cling and bind so? I am Elder who has lost her Ash, strong and thick but many times cut, You see me in a hedge, a boundary to be trimmed at will; medicine and flower cakes in spring. I am Elder, old as Eve; fire from ether. You cannot change me; only trim and hack and cut and wait to see me rise. I am far, far older than you. The deeper I grow, the stronger my grip on life, though my branches seem but thin wands. But Ash is sick. Ash is dying What will we do then? Your seedings and uprootings are killing him. Yet Ash will rise again though you may not see or think it now. He will come in human form. You who were born at the light-feast, who mourn your dying sun; he was not Ash. Ash is dying; Ash will come again. Hush. Take root in the frosted ground, the rattling leafless trackways. Wait for the rising.
Green leaves surround a mud-trodden path to a glimpse of shaded chalk stream, hawthorn in the centre, elder to the right.
An ash tree about 100 feet (30 metres) tall in late autumn leaf, covered with thick bushes of dark ivy all the way up its trunk and branches like a ragged old sweater, towers over the photographer in late October. The tree has since fallen, cause unknown.
Great butch bunches of Ash keys (& Ash flower galls?) along the Cut-Off Channel, with Sedge Warblers ratcheting from the reeds. Surprised to find Meadow Saxifrage at Tollgate Weir with Bur chervil (Anthriscus caucalis).
