Through the 1980s in to the 1990s I always remember there being a week or two of cold, frosty, freezing foggy weather in the middle or second half of November. Every year I'd go off camping for a few days (did the whole of the Ridgeway path during one such week) because it would be the first time after the hayfeverey Summer that I could get out and and really enjoy being outdoors. I had some brilliant backpacking time across England and Wales around then. It wasn't until the early 2000s that I realised that whole weather phenomena since my youth had just stopped -- gone away. Climate change, I presume. Even this year's cold snap didn't really replicate that cold dank damp spell that used to appear each year.

What an absolutely cracking looking wee book John, with those beautiful engravings (?) images. I need to read it! Connecting past people of perambulating persuasions with we modern perigrinos is precisely what is called for! " Others may want ‘scenery’, he wrote, ‘but the beauty of the English countryside is far less in its wide panoramas than in its intimate nooks and corners, in what lies so near at hand.’" "Gillingham’s life appears to have been one of extremes. After his parents emigrated to Vancouver he attended the University of British Columbia, subsequently travelling to the Arctic Circle with fur traders, while writing short stories, at least one of which was published in the prestigious literary journal, The Dial. At some point in his early life he trained as a pilot. By the 1930s, back in Loughton - like J.A.Baker - he worked in an office (‘uncongenial work’), escaping from the ‘arid plain of failure’ to cycle everywhere on his early morning or night-time forays into the nearby fields and forests. Even so, when war broke out he spent two years with a Night Fighter Squad, before being posted to the Middle East. After the war he became a familiar figure locally, his obituary in the local newspaper recording that, ‘His many friends will remember him best for his shapeless beret, stout walking shoes and amiable booming, cultured voice.’ In his last years Gillingham worked as a private gardener." "Unto the Fields is worth searching out, the early editions beautifully illustrated by Harry A.Pettit, a book illustrator whose work continues to be admired. In the published writings of both Gillingham and Baker, there is little mention of work, of domestic life or other interests - just an obsessive empathy with birds, and their migrations, nestings, feeding patterns and interaction with the rest of the natural world. From such patient observations, the modern reader is given access to a myriad of small worlds then to be found in suburban lanes and along the banks of the smallest Essex creeks and rivers. In Gillingham’s case, his notebooks recorded Loughton before the arrival of a wartime barrage balloon station and, subsequently, a new housing estate, close by. Gillingham’s description of his adopted territory, recalls those wonderful passages in the early novels of D.H.Lawrence when that writer rhapsodised about the walks he made from his terraced street of miners’ cottages in Eastwood to the nearby farms and woodlands. Loughton Historical Society 13.11.14" Source: KW The New English Landscape

I still find it really strange, even weird, that you can be ploughtering about in a muddy field in pitch darkness then, just a few minutes later, you're in a brightly lit tube staion. If it were the "big railway", that mightn't seem so odd, as you get some really remote stations, but the tube isn't the first mode of transport I'd expect to encounter in that situation. I first experienced this feeling many years ago at Loughton. I walked from the youth hostel, way deep in Epping forest and popped out of the forest to find red buses and the tube station. At least with Loughton, you have a few minutes walk past the pubs and houses, which kind of prepares you for civilisation. As ever John, thanks for taking me along for the ride.👍

I think my original comment got lost in the ether (probablyfor including a weblink). I live between the Gillingham plaque and the meadows and spend a lot of time running around the paths and fields in the area. I loved the Gillingham book - I read it during the strictest lockdown - it seemed the best time to read a hyper local nature book. It is hard to imagine Loughton as he saw it - with shotgun wielding gamekeepers and so little by way of development south of the tube. He uses different names for fields to those currently in use but you can recognise various features of the river (the Elbow for example) if you know where to look. A lovely path if you ever go up the green lane again is to cut across the little row of houses that are visible as you emerge back on to Vicarage Lane. Pass between the houses and the path runs along to below Chigwell Cemetry where you can either cut up to Grange Hill or carry on down to Chigwell Station - the views are lovely. Cheers

And, know what, he was always right . . . but that was the 70s/80s and who knows how those traditional sayings fit in with climate change?

Hi John hope your well. Could you possibly help me? I’m trying to find the said book “Unto the fields” by D.W. Gillingham but have had no luck 🍀 is there anyone out there who knows where I can obtain this novel? I would be extremely grateful 😊 Great video John by the way. Took me back to the early sixties of my life when we used to live down in south Essex.
