  1. Illuminated – Presenter: Robert Macfarlane

    Harrier Angels

    John Betjeman schrieb, es lohne sich, „40 Meilen gegen den Wind zu radeln, um die St. Wendreda-Kirche in March, Cambridgeshire, zu besuchen, wegen der 118 Engel im Dach“.

    Die Flügel der Eichenholzschnitzereien aus dem 16. Jahrhundert sind von Hennen- und Rohrweihen inspiriert. Einst waren sie in der Gegend weit verbreitet – nun kehren sie zurück. Der Naturautor Robert Macfarlane betrachtet die Schnitzereien und stellt Verbindungen zwischen Engeln und Weihen her, was sie über unsere Gefühle für die Vögel und Engel aussagen.

    Robert steigt zur Glockenstube hinauf, um sich die „Harrier Angels“ aus der Nähe anzusehen – zusammen mit Ruth Clay, der Pfarrerin von St. Wendreda’s, Edward Wilson-Lee, dem Autor von „The Grammar of Angels“, und Ajay Tegala, einem Ranger im Wicken Fen. Sie diskutieren über die Bedeutung der Engelschnitzereien im 16. Jahrhundert, als sie entstanden, und heute. Die Verfolgung und das Überleben der Engelschnitzereien spiegeln das Schicksal der Vögel wider.

    “...But I did not shoot the #deputy…” Bob Marley’s wail trailed off as our car stalled.

    “I told you to get the car checked,” Rebecca said.

    “I did. The mechanic said it was in A1 shape, just some minor gremlins in the electrical system.”

    From the back, Claire added, "Or a plot to get two lovely ladies alone on a lonely country road." I could picture her shaking her golden, sausage-curls as she said it, a sly grin on her face.

    “Cute,” I replied. I could always count on my daughter to say something clever. But she was right; it was a lonely road. Trees hemmed us in, and large fluffy flakes drifted down between them.

    To our left was a yellow steel gate with a “No Trespassing” sign. Beyond, the occasional moon #illuminated a rustic cabin. Weeds poked through the snow casting shadows like claws. The only welcoming thing in the scene was a path where someone had trampled the snow, leading to the building.

    “I know it says no trespassing, but I’m going to see if someone is home,” I said, opening the car door.

    A blast of arctic air met me, smelling of an upcoming storm. I shivered and pulled my coat tighter.

    My girlfriend and her daughter joined me. The younger one explained, “No way we’re letting you leave us. Everyone knows ‘Jack the Gripper’ preys on beauties left alone in stalled cars.”

    “It’s ‘Jack the Ripper,’” Rebecca corrected.

    “Nya ayh, it’s ‘Jack the Gripper.’ He’s from the game ‘Seven Maidens House.’”

    It was too cold for this debate, so I walked over to the gate, which was fortunately unlocked.

    The snow on the path crunched underfoot, leaving footprints. The dark, empty windows of the cabin didn’t encourage me. Still, a phone line running to it tempted me onward.

    Silence met the door’s rattle when I knocked. I knocked louder, thinking perhaps the owner was asleep. This was also met with silence.

    “That's weird,” I heard Rebecca say. “Three mailboxes.”

    “This one is too big. And this one is too dented. But this one is just right!”

    “Don’t say #cursed things,” Rebecca reprimanded Claire.

    “I’m going to see if it’s unlocked,” I called over my shoulder, interrupting their squabbling.
    To my surprise, the door opened easily, and flicking a switch produced a warm electric light.

    The building’s interior was cozy. Three rocking chairs stood in front of a fireplace with wood stacked next to it. A handleless hatchet rested against the pile. To one side, there was a wood stove with more wood. A single frying pan rested on it. In the center of the room was a table with a cheery, red-checkered tablecloth, three place settings, and a mystery soup can. I guessed the door in the back led to a bedroom.

    The room's most surprising feature was a ceiling-high bookshelf crammed with leather-bound books. They weren't the collector's type with gold trim and fancy titles, but old volumes weathered by time.

  11. ❄️ First snow of the season! 🌙✨

    Caught this magical moment on my way to the office this morning. The first snowflakes drifting down like little sparks of winter. There’s something so peaceful about seeing the city before it wakes fully up, wrapped in a soft, fresh layer of white.
