Some conclusions from this dismal episode: *heritage trees need listing & strong legal protection *a sense of nature/the living world as disposable, even laughable, runs deep * “Far from being the big men they thought they were, they were rather pathetic.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

May #tbr pile. Looking forward to seeing @robgmacfarlane at Cambridge Literary Festival on Tuesday and asking him about Is a River Alive? This book will help me begin-a new climate book for children, there is much research to do, and will catch up with another Jools @essexbookfest @julespretty1

Some fantastic news to end the day! We have been successful in our grant application to the community impact fund, which means we will be running some art therapy classes for our homeless customers in the shop. Very excited to be working with the artist too!

Children's books are seldom taken seriously by adults, yet they're the books that make us readers in the first place. They shape us at the deepest levels, and they stay with us forever. So I think children's books are really THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF ALL!

Guess the theme of the current #childrensbook I'm writing for a publisher? Good to chat to Robert Macfarlane and Jules Pretty over the past few weeks, for inspiration and ideas. Currently drafting chapter four, a magic boat, cloud forests of Ecuador, and a spectacled bear.

My painted wooden belly board for Where At Meets The Wave charity auction is aid of Cornwall Hospice Care. Over 40 hand painted boards by Cornish Artists will be on display around Cornwall with an online Auction running from July to September 25th. Come & see mine in the Gallery!
