This is in the foyer at work.

My first @biggreenbooks.bsky.social subscription book has arrived and I'm delighted!
Thank you, Simon. It's beautiful on the outside, and I was blinking prickly tears away from about page 5. It's so gorgeously written, and I'm feeling every word of it.

On, through a little patch of wood. When we emerged, the moon was huge and low and mostly consumed. Within a few minutes it sank behind a low bank of pinkish-grey cloud.
Deer and hares were running in the field.

Misty beach walk
Matcha latte at the pub
Back along the cliff, sun breaking through on the way back.
Starlings lining the crenellations on the church tower, whistling and gossiping. Bushes bustling with sparrows.
A dunnock serenade.
Spring is slipping in through the ragged edges of winter

The long admired and now deceased Tinysaur Tree is slowly being removed from the site where it fell.
What remains is largely hollow, spongey and powdery, with some strange honeycomb formations.
@andywoodturner.bsky.social do you know what causes the honeycomb effect?

Accidentally walked 3 miles instead of 1 - realised part way we were on a track through the middle of a golf course and not actually headed back towards the nature reserve visitor centre. Backtracked, and came back through the reserve to the most magnificent sunset.
