Blackcap sang the recitatives at Sunday's choir practice & low-flying swifts screeched in accompaniment to yesterday's mini garden rehearsal. I'm rather taken with the new outdoor bird/choir experience.

Clematis 'Belle of Woking' shaking out her frills on her way to the ball...

Stood beneath one of the largest oaks in Suffolk marvelling at the trunk - a gigantic 12m in circumference. Supposedly 800-900 years old; what events it must have seen. I'd be a bit chary about being lulled asleep in its generous shade & waking to find the roundheads & cavaliers at war, or black death rife in the Suffolk countryside.

While the kids swam in the sea (too nippy for me), I met up with an old friend...

I'm excited about the publication of Women on Nature this Thursday. Edited by Katharine Norbury, it includes contributions by 100 writers from Julian of Norwich up to the present day. Can't quite believe my name is listed next to Virginia Woolf!

Afternoon of spring firsts by the River Lee - reed warblers, sedge warblers & high over the mayflower meadow, oh joy, here come the swifts!

Delighted & astonished in equal measure to be longlisted for the @spreadthewordwriters Life Writing Prize 2021!! My piece includes this fabulous little guy... 😊

Might be parky today, but the cherry plums haven't noticed... #springsigns
