A drone shot looking over the #RiverParrett this afternoon 📷 The flooded fields over #NorthCurry #SomersetLevels #Flooding #Somerset

Snowy sunrise, worth crawling out the tent for!

Oh my GOODNESS I’ve wanted to see this for ages! 🥳 Alders contain tannins that leach into gathering raindrops, dyeing the liquid with colour. The effect is *stunning*. This Alder (Alnus glutinosa) I came across was glinting gold, amber & deep wine red. How beautiful is that! 😍

First female Hazel flower of the year spotted :)

6 of the 20 most polluted rivers in England & Wales. Great record Welsh Water. For profit, not for Wales!

First wild garlic flower bud 💚

Blackthorn blossom, another welcome sign of spring!

Listened to a book for the first time on a run today, what a joy to have Leif Bersweden 's adventures as company! Looking forward to my next run already :)

My heart 💔 you can't put a value on urban trees. The way they dapple summer sunlight. The way they cool & shade. The bird songsters they host, the hum of insects. Gone, for what? This, right here, is death by 1000 cuts. Handfuls of trees, here and there, adding up to desolation.

Lizard orchids in the sunshine :) the heat definitely enhanced their distinctive scent!

The UK is self-sufficient in meat & dairy - production of which takes up a huge area of land - but only grows 50% of its veg. If the NFU really cared about food security it’d call for a reduction in meat & dairy production & consumption and more focus on horticulture. Will it?

Gorgeous bog pimpernel, definitely one of my favourite flowers 😊
