The Star Moss Shuffle
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2023 9:19 amEnjoy a walk through one of my favourite places.
Near Markinch in Fife there is a village called Star, on the outskirts of Star there is an area called Star Moss. This is a natural wildlife protected area and is a small part of Fife that has not been drained/cultivated and remains as it has been for centuries. A lot of Fife in previous centuries was as Star Moss remains today before the land was drained and transformed into arable land from previously essentially being a swamp.
Star Moss has a unique vibe and entering it is like walking into a different time. Often when I feel troubled or have a lot on my mind I will visit Star Moss, it has a very calming effect and after a while I feel relaxed and at one with the World again.
It has unique foliage, mushrooms, fungi and a lovely lake that is frequented by families of ducks.
The tune is basically a guitar melody, pedal steel provides the backing.
