Villefagnan: May, 2026

It was a heatwave. Our nostrils tingled with the whiff of ammonia rising from

Poole Park: Pathways to the Past

The People’s Park. By the Park’s People. This sound walk was created as a contribution to Poole Park Celebration Day, held on 29th July, 2021. The audio materials were sourced from online video clips, in which people documented their own experiences while visiting the Park. These were combined with excerpts from interviews with local people, to provide some additional perspectives about the Park and how it has changed over time. Together, this mosaic of sounds provides a unique insight into how people value the Park, and how they use it to have fun in so many different ways.

100 Circles

Lenzie Moss is a designated Local Nature Reserve in East Dunbartonshire, near the city of Glasgow, UK. It is a boggy and marshy area with a history of peat extraction. The Moss now serves as a vital habitat for diverse wildlife, including water vole and bog rosemary, and the green hairstreak butterfly, alongside areas of silver birch woodland. My name is David Overend. I moved to the edge of Lenzie Moss in the summer of 2023 and began to regularly take the 25 minute walk round its border, sometimes daily. I have walked with friends, my children, and once with an expert on water vole habitats. Mainly I have walked alone: as a break from work; to start the day with some fresh air; in search of kestrels and deer. Every time I complete the circle, I notice, learn or experience something new. The walk has become something of a ritual, a way of marking the change in the seasons. Since I started to follow this route, I have had the feeling that there is more to discover and that this repeated circular walk might lead me somewhere. So, I am walking it 100 more times, each time with a different person from the local community, or a visiting artist or researcher with some interest in peatlands. As I share these encounters on this blog, I hope that a co-authored text will emerge, bringing a series of walked dialogues to a wider readership, and perhaps finding a way for the Moss to tell its stories. If you would like to be part of this project and join me for a walk round Lenzie Moss, please get in touch.
