Oh this, this ‘what it means is your future is insecure, & your children’s future is insecure.’ Rebecca Smith is so good on this hidden & often misunderstood rural life. Tied & tenanted here, all our adult lives.

The last of the harvesting near me - and every time I see it I am a kid again, grazing my ankles on stubble and crazing my dad to let me have one last go on the combine.. 🌾 #FarmLife

I design my photos using recent research to shift your brain away from fight & flight & into rest or digest mode. If you’d like to own one (or more) of them in greetings card or art print form & support me at the same time, my Etsy shop is open just now: etsy.com/uk/shop/silver…

Great news to end the week on - Amazon have finally listened to my nagging to lower the price of UNDERCURRENT so that it's more accessible to folk who are cash strapped, so watch out for their 99p kindle deal for September, you're gonna love it! x

"Nature restoration in the UK's national parks is being held back because nearly 90% of the land remains in the hands of private owners" Was on BBC Radio 4 Today talking about making National Parks work for nature & the nation (at 7.53am / 1 hr 53 mins in): bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Such a boost to the importance & changing nature - of writing about nature - congratulations to the winners, the highly commendeds, the short & longlisters too, as well as those worthy that didn’t make the lists. Vital & varied voices all. Bravo! The Wainwright Prizes

One of our favourite #WorkingClass Heroes! ✊x

Ummm, blackbird? Just joking... Peregrine feels like it would be an intriguing read.
