muck and bullets...

Woah, I feel as though I've spent the last few days in the middle of a freezing forest, surrounded by mud and rough cloth and oily metal - where Nature's music of wind and rain and birdsong, and the footfalls of the hooved horses, play alongside man's chorus of hammer blows, shovels digging, boots trudging, locks locking, fires burning and bullets flying.
But, I haven't. I've been painting fences in the sunshine, catching trains, watching tv and eating hot, delicious, nutritious food.
Yup, it really seeped into me, that Bielski book.
