The #peek scurried up a trunk and along a branch, disturbing a whisper of ghostly leaves. It paused at the very tip before leaping to a round and round landing inside the left lense of a girl's binoculars, where it rolled up tight inside the blink of an eye before seeping out into her mind.

My granddaughter, Arrietty (aged 10, and home schooled) has started coming to me this term for Nature Studies.

This Small Copper butterfly is from her nature journal.

Next week we’re studying Jays, and the role they play in the growth of Oak forests, so watch this space…

He has the #law, screwed and stuffed in his pockets, as he walks the canal tow path, catching a splash of loose stones in the bat darkness of it all. Ahead, there will be locks to navigate and deep tunnels to pass through, and a spook of navvies waiting for him with their picks and spades.

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .

“Isn’t this a paradox?” my wife asks as the six-year-old sleeps.

“No, it wasn’t our timeline,” I answer. “It was an alternate universe where she would’ve died as a child before I was born.”

“She’s your mom.”

“She could have been. Now she’s an orphaned relative.”

Good morning. My choice of words was beginning to resemble a list of my O-level subjects, but I never studied this!
Today's word is #law. Make of it what you will. Happy Sunday!

Thrilled to be an Underbelly barnacle on this lush thing. Autumnal melancholia lies within both from super talented folk I know, and will for sure get to know. Plus, a niche comfort/small victory from me!
