Willey: winter sun

Need to make the most of sunshine in the month of shortest days! Just a week ago, workmen were clearing the trees – standing and fallen – below the Lower Pool dam. I was on my own that day – now, Mrs Geoffspages wants to have a look. Happily they seem to have finished – the stacks of timber have significantly diminished; the men and their machines have all gone. So have the trees (there are plenty more beyond this short stretch of the valley of Linley Brook).
