“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

WINTER SOLSTICE CLARENDON 11:33 AM

Mature vines under renovation, Hickinbotham Vineyard, Clarendon, 11:33 AM 21 June 2017 ... we have had no rain round here this winter ... this looked bleak until I saw it through the lens and realised what a huge amount of energy lies welling in that damp sandstone, waiting to push out into 2018 ... especially if it rains ... photo Philip White
