Reading this poem left me
Posted on Wed, 05 Jan 2022
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
Posted on Fri, 17 Dec 2021
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...

Ah, that's my daughter's middle name and one of my favourite trees. I think you've paid a fine tribute to this beautiful tree, covering all of it's characteristics. I love to watch the blackbirds downing the berries in one. 'Solitary wanderers',...

Posted on Sun, 28 Nov 2021
Thank you Di, I was worried it might be a bit trippy but I think we all need a trip as November comes to a close. Birds definitely form friendships and there are so many cross species friendships in the animal world. I say this looking at my...

One of those pieces which had the rare effect of making me feel as if I was being squeezed while reading but in a good way. It's divine.

This reminds me of a rich, still life oil painting, each time you look at it, you see something different. A beautifully verdant, quiet journey into a dream.

Brilliant ending. I hadn't
Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021
Brilliant ending. I hadn't heard the word ecocide before. It feels hopeless but as Di-Hard said, that is the worst, most defeatist way to address it. My kids are adults now, I worry for their kids. People come into the garden centre where I work...
