Contrast - the storm and the calm.

There's a howling gale blowing outside our training room as I sit here this morning writing "The Horse's Mouth". Nothing new in that - indeed it seems that it's been pretty windy for a number of days now. Apart from the noise - the sound of raindrops lashing the windows in some of the stronger gusts - the inside of the room is remarkably unaffected; a still atmosphere, a steady light, and a U shaped long table with seven laptops plus a spare set out ready for a quiet course that starts today, followed by a full course on Wednesday to Friday.

A new noise - a crunching on the gravel drive, followed by a flapping of the letterbox, and I know the newspaper's arrived. Within the next few minutes, I expect further sound effects as our post arrives. The very fact that I hear (and comment) on these gentle sounds of morning shows you how - in general - it's very quiet here. Even the carpenter working on the extension which we need to allow us to claim back some "personal space" from the business can't be heard from here and the neighbours around here as so quiet that they might as well not be there.
