This is the scene I was greeted with as I rounded the hedge from one field to the next on Monday morning. It was cold, and I'm starting to wonder where I put my gloves at the end of last wint...

Every so often, I have a wobble - you've probably been witness to it once or twice: I wonder why I'm even a writer. Because everyone seems to be a writer. Is there really any room for me? I talk ...
