The volcanic eruption in Iceland which has produced a plume of silicate ash and which is currently hanging over much of the UK has certainly had an effect here at Henley.
On the one hand several workshops, in Germany and in Ireland, had to be cancelled as tutors have been unable to fly anywhere, while some others are currently stranded in fairly far flung places, unable to get back. With workshops still running on site here, a number of non-UK based programme members could make it.
On the other hand, we’re all marvelling at the eerie lack of airplane noise, and even stranger view of the sky devoid completely of aircraft vapour trails. This part of the UK is normally streaked by long lines from high-flying jets, and by a constant background sound of planes circling to land at Heathrow. What’s more, several delegates today have remarked on how quiet normally busy roads such as the M25 have been.
Peaceful…
