Thank you Rob for tonight’s conversation of deliberately meandering responses at RGS. A good opportunity for a modest confluence of geographers to meet up, listen, & talk shop - great evening.
I have my copy & looking forward to an immersion, a few dips & the occasional paddle.

Attended a talk about ‘Sarn Helen’ as part of #Llandovery Wild Literature festival, by author Tom Bullough & Jackie Morris illustrator (of the book) author & artist. Began to read it & enjoying the ‘journey’ a lot! Poetic, heady words, animals nested in sacred geometry& painted in tonal hymns.

As in human societies, the transmission of knowledge is vital to animal cultures. The endangered Egyptian vulture depends on pre-migratory gatherings to share safe routes. With so few elders in the Balkans, juveniles often fly straight over the sea & perish there.

One of the best things about winter's minimalism is the way deciduous trees focus attention on form, texture & the relationship between branches & shards of sky. I'll be sharing some that warm my cockles in winter over the next few weeks. Have any of your favourites bared all yet? #trees #winter

Coexistence means making space—for wildlife, for forests, for rivers to flow freely. It’s not always easy, but it’s essential. What does coexistence mean to you? 🐾💚
