Stanhope, Weardale: One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is a microscope. Sixty years on, it’s still a wonder to watch a mini rainforest in action

Ta. I'm taking it easy today, hoping it'll ease soon and trying not to feel sorry for myself!

I am working on a series of events for an indie bookshop in Lincolnshire.

Please reach out if you're an author looking to do a talk or have a workshop that would work well for our audience 😍

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin,
patron saint of tired scientists, grumpy fieldworkers, and hating your own manuscript.

Night of wrath. Can't sleep coz of the pain. Again.

I kinda feel I've paid my dues and more over the last few years and I'm owed some pain-free time. Perhaps I should wish upon a shooting star?

Yes, glorious!

Give Iris reticulata 'Pauline' a sunny wave, folks. Purple splendour bursting out of my binstore green roof.👋💜💛

Aye.

Oh, that's lovely to know. Thank you. I'm a sucker for all their colour-coordinated nature photos!

Woodcocks are very steady. It's being so low to the ground, you know.

I have just bought myself a skein of gorgeous artisan wool. Because you're only nearly 51 once, right?
