This is something Iโ€™ve been thinking about! I didnโ€™t realise they were bringing it in. Sounds very complicatedโ€ฆ.

Driving north to meet a storm scientist in the woods. Driving north is surely one of the best things to do in autumn, it always makes me happy.

Opinion | The Last of the Larch

Wrote about the larch tree this weekend for The New York Times. Itโ€™s a wonderful tree and has been integral to our economy and industry over the last 300 years. A disease is currently threatening its future but @forestresearchuk.bsky.social are on the case.

Had proper full moon insomnia last night. Went outside at 3am, garden was lit like a headlight over the hill. Stood on a slug and saw a hedgehog.

Iโ€™m running a non fiction course again this autumn.

You can join me as I finish the 1st draft of my book, file a travel commission to a VERY tight deadline & deliver an essay for a collection I kind of forgot.

Read here for what course actually entails. โฌ‡๏ธ

When the kids go back to school and you write 1000 words in a few hours.
God Iโ€™ve missed working.

Picked and cooked chanterelles today. We checked and checked, naturally, and fried them in simple butter. Delicious.

I wrote an essay about a good friend who went through postnatal psychosis. Itโ€™s something quite unbelievable, to watch someone you love go through that. She is amazing & now raises awareness about the condition. Itโ€™s in the latest edition of Gutter magazine (Guttermag.co.uk) โค๏ธ
