"Fall and the Coming of Winter"

"The summers passed with each year.  I don't seem to remember them anymore.

I remember the fall and the coming of winter.

The water got cold.  It was a time of the West swell."

Jack Barlow, Big Wednesday (1978)

I can't believe I've never, in the entire history of An Tor Orth An Mor, levered in a quote from my favourite film.  But now seems like an appropriate opportunity; that time of year is creeping up on us in the Northern Hemisphere and I for one am kind of looking forward to some heavy swells.
