Yesterday I had confirmation that I have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease) so today I forsook Leicester, which lies in a kind of depressed
bowl, at the bottom of a Gallowtree Hill (the locals never use the name)
for a gentle stroll with one of my growing collection of walking sticks in
the clear and breathable air alongside that modest river the Welland in
Stamford's meadows, which led to a little wood where I found an old and
nameless to me tree and a huge bole where I perched like a child in the arms
of time.
