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...

Just a few of the beautiful, nectar-rich flowers blooming along the verges on the school run today - Jack-by-the-hedge, red campion, cow parsley, mallow, buttercups, ox-eye daisies, herb Robert, even a small patch of birds-foot trefoil which, if left to grow, might flower soon. Is it my imagination or have the council left it unmown for longer this year? I particularly liked the sections where the back of the verge has been left to grow long and just a narrow front section cut. Long may it last! The plants, insects, birds and other wild creatures thank you @northhertsdc 😊 🐝 🦋 🐦🐞

Whole day in the garden and the shed is vaguely tidy at the end of it. This never normally happens.

A little school run treat...

Kind of surprised our box escaped the caterpillars as long as it did. But now it seems it's judgement day. Where are the jackdaws when you need them?

Kingcup sunset. Kestrel up there too.
