Gorgeous morning beside the river on our #Oxfordshire #Cotswolds farm. The river & meadow are part of a designated Local Wildlife Site. Planting the alders was one of the first things we did, almost 30 years ago, as described in This Is Not My Land. #rivers #naturefriendlyfarming

A special moment. Advance copies of This Is Not My Land: 30 years on a small Cotswolds farm have arrived. The first time I get to touch this new book with its silky smooth cover. Publishing in early January. #authors #naturewriting #Cotswolds @travwriters.bsky.social @bradtguides.bsky.social

What a night, watching roller #hockey in #France, and, no less, 12-times French champions SCRA Saint Omer as they took on - and gave a masterclass to - Roubaix. Fab to watch. Fun, fast and full of skill. And only 40 minutes from Calais. #SaintOmer #NousSommesLeSCRA @travwriters.bsky.social
