• Kandinsky

    I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with Kandinsky this week. I tried it on my iPad today, and the larger canvas allowed me to be a bit more precise with my scribblings. Though, to be fair, everything I tried on my phone still sounded pretty good.

    Kandinsky is one of the Chrome Music Lab experiments.

    Chrome Music Lab is a website that makes learning music more accessible through fun, hands-on experiments

    I hadn’t come across these experiments before, but I’ll definitely make time to look at the other ones.

    Kandinsky itself is described as:

    This experiment is inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, an artist who compared painting to making music. It turns anything you draw – lines, circles, triangles, or scribbles – into sound.

    Joyful!


  • Today’s walk: Another autumnal visit to Winkworth Arboretum

    I know I said I’d visit Winkworth Arboretum in spring or summer (see my post from last year), but it just didn’t happen.

    Today, we checked the website, saw the warning about the busy car park, and decided to park in the woodland a mile or so away instead. We walked to the arboretum from there. That turned out to be a delightful extra, giving us a proper woodland walk first.

    It turns out we visited on the exact same date as last year, but this time, the trees were almost bare. I know I’m not the only one who felt like autumn came early this year, but there were still some gorgeous trees and colours to enjoy.


  • Yesterday's walk: Basildon Park

    Basildon Park was a new place for us, and we stopped there as a small diversion on our way home from the cabin. It also let us get an additional stamp for Breezy’s Pooch Passport, which is always a bonus!

    Our walk around the estate was pleasant, but nowhere near as spectacular as the colours we saw the day before around Stonor Park. We also didn’t have as much blue sky to enjoy it in, either. But it was still a good place to stretch our legs and see the views over the valley.
