The Language of the Bees (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wouldn't choose torrential rain at 4am, the morning before a pilgrim group joins me in the Scottish Highlands. But around here the weather gods are at their most tempestuous at the hinge of the autumn equinox. The winds of change blow, sun and storm tussle. The year shifts from light to dark. Rainbows are the boon.September can be glorious in Scotland, it can also be fierce. We never really know what we’re going to get until we look up at the sky above us. Even then, it could change in an inst
