Went on a short walk to Jaw Reservoir this morning. First time in at least 10 or 11 years. I stopped going when my car was broken in to in the quiet car park. Now, covid times, it is nearly full. The walk to Jaw was quiet enough though. Geese, ravens, skylarks and grouse.
Watched: Blowup 🎥🎬 ★★★★☆ so much fun. All sorts of things to think about.

The snow in the park melted to show rather bedraggled crocus. The first I’ve seen this year. A welcome bit of colour on a drench day.

I enjoyed the Wordsworth, The Mutiny on the Bounty and Lake District background more than the actual plot.
Windscape a literacy resource for upper primary
Windscape is an exciting children’s adventure that explores the dilemma between the usefulness of wind farms and the beautiful scenery they can sometimes destroy.
Paul Murdoch, the author of Windscape has recorded the audio for each chapter, created learning material and made them available for free.
With Paul’s permission I’ve taken the resources and turned it into a Glow Blog.
Windscape – an exciting children’s adventure by Paul Murdoch
and a podcast to which you can subscribe on: apple or android.
I have already started using the resource with my class and am looking forward to continuing.
As the audio is a blog it is easy to change things, we are open to adding to the learning resources if anyone has ideas. You can get in touch through the site.
The snow is falling very gently. A ghost tree clasps the real tree like a bridegroom with a bride.
My wife quote this as we walked through the park. It sticks.
Out for a walk in a very snowy Glasgow. Was surprised to see a few parakeets, at one point flying above through fairly thick snowfall.
