It is relatively small – about twelve miles long and three miles wide
– and very flat.

View from Pasture Lane, LS7
My new view walking home, looking across Chapel Allerton Park. I moved across the border to Leeds 7 a few weeks ago. The house is on a very steep hill but so far I’ve only fallen over once. There are lots of dogs and cats here.
View from the lay-by, A82
A82, 14 mls N of Tyndrum.
Willow Tree, Chapel Allerton
It’s dark at 4 o’clock.
The willow tree is adorned with fairy lights
for the festive season.
Cars and people are on the move and
I’m drawing in a doorway.
