Sad to say that, although the haiku below is newly-written, all we have here today is rain. Quite a lot of it, in fact. The snow picture was taken at Christmas 2010, when the world around here was a very different place (in all sorts of ways).
The death of two people yesterday in an air crash just on the other side of the valley from here is a telling reminder of how fragile human life is, with all the networks of friendships and activities and accomplishments that life contains. A moment, and it's gone. One of those who died is Bob Jones, local farmer, aviator and founder of the Mid-Wales Airport, which was built on his land: a man who has given so much to the area, and contributed greatly to its economic viability via the airport. He will be greatly missed and mourned.
