I am SO excited about this being released ✨

This time next week I will have just finished an evening at Pickering book shop!

I believe all tickets are SOLD OUT! But you can still place pre-orders for my new book with your local book shop or online 📚

The 4% currently predicted for Lib Dems and Greens could defeat Reform by voting Plaid Cymru. There's a real opportunity for supporters of those parties to defeat Reform and strengthen their own parties chances at the Senedd elections in May 26.

Sat in an A&E waiting room and for the last ten minutes a mother has been running after her 2 children whilst the father of the children is zoned out on his phone. I’m about 2 more minutes from being the reason he needs urgent medical attention.

P.S the mother is the one in for some sort of malady

Thanks Huw, will see what I can find locally!

Thank you. I’ll have a watch of these when I get home!

God that sounds like you were having a seriously bad time. Are you all ok now?

So nice to have you back on my feeds Tom! I’ve missed cat antics 🐈

Oh dear. I’ve been having bad shoulder pain for weeks. Monday I woke up in agony and unable to use my arm properly. Apparently I’ve had a partial dislocation for a good while and then in my sleep decided to fully dislocate it.

The joys of being hypermobile!

Any tips on speedy healing?

Bigger than a Shetland, but daintier

Can’t lie, I’ve seen horses that are smaller

Very much looking forward to being hosted by Pickering Book Tree for the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival in just over a weeks time ✨

Would be great to meet some of you there, but tickets are going fast, or so I’m told!

Thanks ever so much Emily! I hope you see a copy in the wild near you soon

My Creatures are almost ready to be released into the wild!

You can pre-order at your local bookshop or online 🐨🦉🐍

As a Dark Sky Officer, I’m on the side of darkness. We really need to learn to lean into the darker days and look at it them as an opportunity for restoration, reflection and calm after a hectic spring/summer. Seasonal beings!

Tiny bones!? As in structures like bones, it has its own bones or it absorbs other things bones? How interesting!

Thank you, I was torn between a fungus or slime mold, but hadn’t seen a slime mold in individual clumps rather than one big clump before. Thank you!

Can anyone tell me what the title
Blue fungus type stuff is please?

It was on dead wood in a woodland in Wales

I know what group will be hijacking the celebrations and it will turn my stomach.

Funnily enough, I’m seeing a distinct lack of the usual ‘poppy fever’. I guess there’s no time to remember when you’re stomping all over the ideals your ancestors fought for.

Armistice day is a mere few weeks away.

How will our politicians stand at those cenotaphs and solemnly swear ‘never again’ whilst a genocide takes place once more?

The real purpose of remembrance is to not glorify acts of war, but to remember what was lost in the name of peace.

At least you have you morals. I totally understand this, though. It can be very painful. I hope you’re taking care of yourself.

Sums up a Monday

I can’t take the credit. Was here when I moved in!
