Fiona Law The Man in the Woods



Julia Fawlks wants to help her quirky friend Bea get ahead with her new career in hypnotherapy, so she gives her access to her house on the edge of Windsor Forest with the idea Bea can use one of the rooms to practise from when Julia is at work. What could be the harm in such an arrangement between firm friends? But Julia begins to have vivid dreams of liaisons with a horned man who comes for her. At first they are a pleasant distraction then they become increasingly intrusive, and ever more disturbing. Soon the horned man is no longer a figure in a dream; he is becoming manifest and his amorous attentions are now arbitrary demands on Julia. When Julia tries to expel her ghostly stalker, the horned man becomes increasingly violent and his insidious presence turns to possessive control. And that’s when Julia notices the faint trace of a necromancy circle drawn on the patio in her garden. Just what has Bea been doing at her house? Who is the horned man and will Julia be able to shake him off?

About This Author
Fiona lives in Newburgh – a beautiful and ancient idiosyncratic town nestled alongside the Tay estuary in Scotland. She loves ancient history, mythology, folklore and especially all things Celtic. Her compassionate interest in people, her fascination with Britain’s rich and colourful heritage, and her endearment to its picturesque land are reflected in her delightful storytelling. Fiona mostly writes fantasy and historical woman’s fiction but also some children’s fiction. When she’s not penning stories in a nook in the attic space, you may find her cooking up a storm in the kitchen, knitting fine garments or reading tarot cards.

Dundee from Dundee Law

Saturday 7th December. Dundee from Dundee Law, a cold and dismal day as can be seen from the lack of colour.
Prominent is an oil drilling platform, in for maintenance and obviates the depth of the North Sea of which the average water depths vary, but are generally between 50 and 200 m for the shelf seas, the waters being shallower around the south west of Scotland, and typically between 100 and 150 m to the west of the Hebrides and off the north coast. Scotland’s offshore environment also includes waters of depths greater than 2,000 m. Little is known about the deep seas around Scotland compared with the shallow shelf seas. In general, less is known about Scotland’s seas compared with our knowledge of landward Scotland. What is known however is that Scotland’s seas are some of the most diverse on the planet. They are at the confluence of northerly-flowing surface currents and southerly-flowing polar currents and the complex bathymetry to the west causes these to become mixed, bringing nutrients to the surface. These are fed on by plankton communities which form the basis for what could be one of the richest fishing regions anywhere on the globe.


Oil extraction from such an important resource has its dangers both to oil workers and  biodiversity.


Looking to the South reveals the famous Tay rail bridge which is about 2 miles long.
I just had Arbroath  Smokies to eat, a wonderful naturally smoked haddock delight caught in the North Sea.
Ummmm

Akong Tulku Rinpoche Swift Return Prayer

Through the blessing power of an ocean of the three jewels
and the three roots,and the blessing of the interdependence
of pure faith and pure samaya of lama and follower.
May the shining daylight of this magnificent guide and protector of the teachings and of beings rise as a new incarnation to shine once again, to bring benefit to those to be trained.


"everybody always have to think the impermanence of life....and one cannot hold back when the death comes"
Kyabje Akong Tulku Rinpoche's final words to his students at Kagyu Samye Ling.

This "swift return" prayer for Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche was composed by the 17th Karmapa Orgyen Trinley on the 16th of October 2013 according to the heartfelt requests of his disciples and many others.

OM MANI PADME HUM
 
May all beings be happy 
May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.

Flisk North Fife 26th/27th November

The sky at 3-45pm, 26th November on the way to Newburgh North Fife. 38 minutes later the red deepens, how quickly the light changes. The saying is "red sky at night shepherds delight".

The street lights twinkle in Newburgh.
Wednesday 27th, ploughman's delight, the sun shines low in the sky at Flisk point where gulls congregate foraging in the mud.
Then following the plough, as they do. Logie farm.

Newburgh Riverside North Fife Nov 22nd.

A building high pressure is giving rise to largely cloudless skies, this vapour trail and others become more evident. Water vapour, a condensate of jet liner fuel, normally they dissolve quickly but today they linger and have developed into these interesting forms.

Half an hour later down by the riverside.
The vapour trail is still evident as the sun sets in the West.
Turn around and the light takes on a more subtle quality. Dundee on the horizon lights a twinkle.
Maid of The Tay at berth along side the recently refurbished pier, Newburgh riverside.
Geese and Swans enjoy the calm conditions.
4 pm and it's cold,brrrr.
