Algy flew over to the rocky headland at the northern end of the bay and settled down on the long grass beside an intriguing bog pool, hoping to catch a glimpse of his good friend Plog the frog.

Still somewhat breathless from the exertion of dancing in the sea spray, he decided to observe fluffy bird best practice and concentrate on his breathing: take a deep breath in, hold it, breath out, hold it… But there seemed to be a wee complication, for it had a rather more extensive effect than he had been anticipating…

Of course one never knows quite what to expect in these remote areas of the wild West Highlands of Scotland. Strange things tend to happen in the Celtic lands, but the folk who live here get used to them after a while and pay them little heed. So Algy was not particularly nonplussed; he simply carried on with his breathing exercises while he watched what was going on around him with an attentive fascination. He recalled the exhortation of a poem he had read not long ago: "look closely: you will see and understand"…🙃

Happy October everyone! Algy hopes that his friends in the northern hemisphere will have a truly glorious golden month, while those in the south enjoy a beautiful spring 🧡

look closely and you'll find them everywhere in fields of patterned grasses drafted by the hare embroidered by the bluebells through a wood in scattered trails of blossom stamped into the mud scorched by heather-fire across the moors in looping snail-trails scrawled on forest floors scored across the sky by screaming swifts in rolling, twisting peaks of drifting mountain mist scribbled by an ocean on the sand look closely: you will see and understand.

[Algy is quoting the poem Messages by the contemporary English poet Matt Goodfellow. This poem was written specially for National Poetry Day in October 2016. This year's National Poetry Day falls in a couple of days' time, on 3rd October.]

[Plog the frog is a character from Algy's illustrated children's chapter books and features particularly in The Tree with a Golden Heart.]
