A ghost story is traditional as the Christmas holiday season approaches.

This video was recently filmed at the atmospheric Grovely Woods near Wilton, UK where four gnarled old trees relate to a particular haunting story.

The music is 'rune ritual' from my album 'The Mystery of Runes'.

Last week on my way to get footage of the local river I came across Falconhigh at Brambridge.

Here is a short video based on impromtu filming.

Phil and Judy of Falconhigh display team can be contacted at falconhigh.co.uk

Last week I assisted Carrie Searley of ASSAP (Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena) in filming A Touch of Glass at Bakerlane Records where the owner Daniel Baker explained that some strange things had been going on. Here is a brief taster of some of the footage that I took.

Spent a great afternoon canoeing with Christine and 4 other brave souls on Beaulieu River.

Stu from Liquid Logistics made sure we were safe in the two canoes that were strapped together to ensure stability. There was rain, sun and wildlife. The music is a re-edit from a previous piece on Buckler's Hard which is just down the river from where we set off.

I used an older compact camera (in case of extreme wetness) so the video is in 4:3 format.

Went hill walking over the weekend with other like minded lovers of vistas and 'Hangers'. The name 'Hanger' comes from the Old English 'hangra' meaning trees on a steep hill.

Today is Equinox when the day and night are of nearly equal length. Here in the Northern hemisphere it is the Vernal Equinox and has long been celebrated as a time of rebirth and the start of Spring. At the weekend I visited St, Mary's Church in the village of Michelmersh where the signs of Spring were abundant. 

This weekend I was able to meet up with 'Guru Craig' in The New Forest, close to the bewitching village of Burley, UK. Craig Hamilton-Parker does an excellent acting job in this parody of how people in revered positions are often blind to their obvious shortcomings.

Visited Salisbury in Wiltshire this Saturday. Once again one marvels at the astonishing Cathedral which is over 750 years old. Someone was practicing on the organ so I have made a short video of the experience.

After the long holiday season Craig joins our walking escapades once again. He is full of his normal good cheer as we walk from Steep, up Shoulder of Mutton Hill, down to Hawkley, back up the hill and finally downhill to Steep.

We drove to Beaulieu where a donkey showed too much interest in what was in the boot of the car. Then a short walk to Bucklers Hard along the river path. Bucklers Hard is an 18th Century hamlet that became a shipbuilding village in the 1740's, Admiral Nelson's favourite ship Agamemnon was built here. 

A Sunday walk with Christine and Lynne from East Meon to Salt Hill.
