The website is a year old and the results very good.  Naturally, the Wind Reader   Library  and  and woodcarving sections are  the most  popular.   Icelanders will be pleased to know that  Lesið í vindinn - the Icelandic version of the wind of the Wind Reader -  is now available on the Iceland Soil Conservation Service at www.land.is under information and also available in the LIBRARY of this website and at

  My Lady of the Lake wood carving is currently on loan  to the Forestry Commission, Cowal & Trossachs District as contribution to the SCOTTSLAND  celebrations of the bicentennial of the publication of Scott's Lady ofthe Lake in 1810. In June 2010 the carving was on display in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park headquarters at Carrochan. From July-October it will be displayed in the Trossachs and is currently part of an exhibition in the Aberfoyle Discovery Centre.

In August I retiurn to Iceland to teach my course on Wind and Landscape at the Agricultural University of Iceland,, give a presentation at a mini-conference on the Winds of Esja in relation to forestry and, of course, in the company of friends and colleagues in forestry and soil conservation,  travel  beautiful Iceland  to study the nature of wind on the landscape notably effects of ash fall out from the famous Eyjafallajokull eruption. No doubt I will have an illustrated article on my travels in Iceland for you during the winter.

The spring weather in Newfoundland has been somewhat wetter and cooler than usual; which of course did the gardens wonders. Our own garden is more spectacular than usual as is my other one year old garden on my Brother-in-Law's industrial property as a result the perfect Spring weather - for plants that is!.
