In today's @theguardian.com country diary, I'm hunting for the county's first ever recorded wild plant along the same the road where it was spotted by the father of British botany, William Turner, in 1548.

SO proud of these people! None had used porcelain clay before and they all created such beautiful nature-inspired pieces, responding to the plants at beautiful @Barnsdale Gardens! 🍁

Hedgerow fruit, field and forest fungi, leaves aflame in red and gold – autumn whispers its magic.

@kathrynparsons.bsky.social and I will be celebrating the season at our exhibition on 22–23 November. We’d love you to join us.

I mapped as I walked… generating a gentle tangle of memories, with each knot marking 50 steps.

Overhead, thousands of starlings danced in the evening sky.
