From aquabob to zawn
Feb 28, 2015, 11:02
Robert Macfarlane has been putting pen to paper once more, and also collecting words in this fascinating article, collecting words is a passion for him, so if you have found any strange terms in your wanderings send it to him...

favourites;

eawl-leet = dusk, lit 'owl-light' (lancashire)

grimlins = the night hours around midsummer when dusk blends
into dawn (Orkney).

Snow bones = long thin patches of snow still lying after a thaw (Yorks)
