Hi Insert, thanks for the cherries and your comment. I was really excited about this week's IP but when I went back through my phone, this was the third photo back and I so disappointed because I thought, what on earth is that? I didn't know so I...

A wonderful tribute to a wonderful place Jenni. I enjoyed shivering limbs and the idea of ghosts (I'm sure there are many) a haven for wildlife. You've captured the spirit of the broadleaved forest in winter and the generosity of our ancient...

Context - I love it but it
Posted on Sat, 15 Jan 2022
Context - I love it but it just makes it all the more absurd. I too, don't earn much above the minimum wage, worked through almost all of the pandemic, dealing with the public, who were mostly angry and didn't social distance. I keep seeing...

'Until you no longer remember
Posted on Sat, 08 Jan 2022
'Until you no longer remember me in your prayers', A long extinguished flame can suddenly re-ignite without warning but an unkissed state is one of both sadness and peace. I love the flow and movement. When something is so far out of reach you...

That is a lovely story. I bet he's sharp, his face is beautiful, he looks slightly whippety in the face. One of my whippets is almost 14 years, we've had him since he was 7 weeks old. I loved all the details around the beginnings of Skye's life...

There is lots of texture in this; the smooth dark seals, bright sunshine, mingling with the movement of the sea. There's something friendly and almost human about seals when they're above the water but they become athletic, predatory creatures in...

Reading this poem left me feeling relaxed. I haven't been to Glastonbury Tor but now I will be making a trip down there. There's so much on offer in the UK to connect us with our ancient ancestors. I like to go to Stonehenge when my birthday...

Love this. The deserted beach, the slow rythm of the waves and the rythm of something held, pushing to get out. Soft but unforgiving.

Posted on Mon, 13 Dec 2021
Love this tribute to our winter bird. I read recently that they follow us around because they think we're wild pigs but that could just be me since I'm always disturbing the ground, although not with my snout. Their bold nature and tenacity...

Posted on Sat, 04 Dec 2021
'Twisty seclusion' I really enjoyed your poem and the accompanying photograph. It looks like a lovely spot for tapping into 'unrestrained pulsing earth's wonder'. I wish I had a bit more space for rewilding, it makes such a difference and it...
