Just arrived from the printers.

The Book of Bogs began as a community response & has grown beyond the Walshaw Moor into a wider celebration & campaign for bogs & other peatland ecologies.

This was the most brilliant crowdfunded project, with over 40 contributions from artists & poets.

OUT NOW.

Heavenly evening here in West Dorset. The birds have gone from 10 to 0 on the singing scales. June has always been my favourite month in my garden, tonight is one of the finest I’ve known.

Caro Giles’ daughters are educated at home, not through ‘lifestyle choice’, but because the chronically underfunded school system simply does not work for many children with special educational needs, and Caro has no alternative.
