Mountains The Wanderer

This Summer

15 August 2026

This summer I was driving down a lane in the Scottish Highlands, listening to a favourite piece of piano music.

The Wanderer Fantasy by Schubert. It is a work full of yearning.

The same piece is one I turned to in July 2020 when my father was in hospital.

I drove around the lanes – of Leicestershire this time – and took comfort from the music back then.

There is no sign of me settling down anywhere at this time in my life so I thought I would be ‘The Wanderer’.
