It was my childhood dream to see a hoopoe & today I got to write about it in my Guardian Country Diary. This one’s for you, Dad xx

Little walk to the end of the road to watch bees feeding on old man's beard. Luckily someone had put a handy road sign there for me to sit on. #madeitoutofbed #travellersjoy

Lovely morning leading a walk at Purwell Ninesprings reserve with a friendly, enthusiastic group of local carers. Nothing better than sharing a place you love & its natural/social history with other interested folk.💚😊💚

Lovely to see my piece about family history, place and my links to the poet John Clare on The Clearing today. Big thanks to @littletollerdorset for giving me the opportunity to share the story with readers.😊💚 Link in bio...

Made it to the campsite which is a bloody miracle considering I've been mostly horizontal & out-of-action this weekend. And now I can see the River Great Ouse...🛶 💦

It was a real pleasure to run this nature writing workshop for the @sussexwildlifetrust yesterday, supported by @meactnetuk. Now uploaded to YouTube if you'd like to watch. Everyone welcome, no writing experience necessary. (Link in bio)

Snicket wayfarers. Rhapsody in blue - or is it violet? 💜

All excited in my Guardian country diary today when the spuggies come house hunting and get up to mischief in the garden...
