It is simple, but always striking... especially for one who comes from calmer climates.
The wind is from the west, blowing strong all week on the back of my flat, the side with my bedroom, the side where the kitchen and bath are built in. The kitchen and bath, being towards the back and more exposed, are surprisingly cold.
A tree a few yards from my back door is always tossed back and forth, all night – and a small cloud moves rapidly across the sky.
This is North Sea weather, rapidly changing, intense, cold: and dramatic. It reminds me how charged the world is, how much energy operates in and through it...
A bit strange, but beautiful.
