I hadn’t walked up Ben Ghuilean for a while, but was tempted up yesterday during some very high winds. The first trip there in January.

There is something spectacular about being blown UP a hill. And then the extra alertness experienced while walking through the hillside woods. Every creak could be a toppling tree.

I’ve never seen a tree fall though. Just a branch, once, not too far away. They do make a sound when we’re there to hear them.

And the sound they make when nobody is there, is simply down to our imaginations. If it happens inside our heads, then it definitely happened .

So, Do You Believe In Fairies?
