Sometimes a lot of things seem to be happening in the brain and the world and it's hard to separate out the bits. You know?
Anyway. I just came across
this article by Robert Mcfarlane, from earlier this year. It's about the eeriness of the English landscape, and so far it's mentioned MR James, Susan Cooper, Helen Macdonald, Derek Jarman, Alan Garner, and the general weirdness of the Suffolk coast. (I say so far because I'm still reading it, I was compelled to stop in the middle to post this).
Basically, if you ever wondered what was mostly going on inside my head, see above.
