A perfect night of M R James with @NunkieTheatre last Friday. And a perfect freezing night as we approached @GreenKnoweManor. 'Here slept the night hag....'

I naturally lean my love towards our native tree species, but there is something so distantly exotic and beckoning about the shape of the ginkgo leaf. I have held both the leaf and the tooth of a ginkgo-toothed beaked whale in my hands and both exert a strong pull...
Dearest @IAmTheEggPod, more with @Lazbotron please. Tremendously enjoyable episode.
One of my favourites from our time in the Wadden Sea, Black-tailed godwit by @MarcoBrodde
The annual exhibition of @swlanaturaleye is still on @mallgalleries until the 11th. You can catch excellent work from the Wadden Sea project as well as remarkable stuff from the member artists. @HarrietMead1 @DarrenNWoodhead @DarrenReesArt @MarcoBrodde @denmarkinuk @DKAmbUK
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed...it's just a Wiltshire thatcher named Lot loudersound.com/news/an-orig…
Go to Fanø in the spring and experience what it's like to be surrounded by bluethroat: singing, displaying, generally bringing it. These ones are brought to you by @DarrenNWoodhead swla.co.uk/support-us/wadden…

There is a man called James Sutcliffe who would like to build a barrage across The Wash. I debated him publicly in May and will share some insights from that evening ahead of his next public appearance, some 5 months later, this coming Friday in Hunstanton. 🧵
Great to be part of the @swlanaturaleye 60th anniversary celebrations yesterday @mallgalleries and to share some words about the Wadden Sea project

'Outside the rain pours
All folks are indoors'
I always think of this slice of perfection when the rain comes off the downs and into the valley, lashing window and tile

Hey everyone, look over here! This podcast is really great. Live, on-the-spot performances, and intelligent, funny, informative conversation from people who know what they're talking about. Thanks @underleavespod @boden_jon @elizacarthy
Thanks to everyone who subscribed to hear the first Under The Leaves podcast! Very excited to announce it is now available to listen to for free here undertheleaves.podbean.com/e… It will (hopefully) be available on iTunes and Audible soon. Do please let us know what you think x
It's true, this. In a storm the downland seems to have 'no other profession but the moving of water' to quote Craig Childs. Thanks @nicolawriting

"...down past the soldiers' bones & the luck-worn coins..."
What will happen to the men who felled the Great Tree on Picts' Wall, asked Old Fox. The Lady Coventina will rise from her course below, said the King, & draw their torn & tattered souls down past the sweet harebells & the glass beads & the rings of jet, down past the soldiers' bones & the luck-worn coins, down into the far earth where all the dark things of this world are buried in the end of ends.
The leftover and hidden metal memories of work are brought back into the light and turned into a Wadden Sea barnacle goose in the hands of @HarrietMead1
