In Ulverston

David gave me a tour in Ulverston.
We walked along the hills, to the back of Lantern House and saw the stone wall that one of WSI members built. Through the holes left on the wall, we can see the green grass, the fences for the water.
Get in from the front of the building. David told me about the history of this building and its past development when he was working here. The 'Barn' was certainly one achievement of his management, and the uncovering of the town beck particularly.

Then we set out to see the other openings of the town beck. A few are on the car lot or nearby. Sandy did her own project after she found out the archive of WSI in Bristol University's library. Similarly, she traces the routes of the other three becks. David helped her.

David also showed me the mills, the 'ginges'(?) and 'snikies'(?), and the center of the town. That's the gathering place for their yearly event of lantern festival.

Walking back from all these places, such like a gate of the 'secret garden' (quote from Ivan) was opened up for you, or a multilayers universe unfolding in front of your eyes.

There were many further discussions on the merits of uncovering the town back between me and David, as well as some serious talk about the difference between shallow ecology and deep ecology and the difficulties that people faced to understand. I should delve into it another day.
