I was forced to fell our drought-stressed Salix 'Hakuro-nishiki' ornamental this summer – beloved and much missed (pictured right). 💚

Since then I have vowed to plant two saplings for every tree that is lost to the climate crisis.

Grow well sweet hazel and fig. 🌱

'And with the eschaton of closing time
they say a great gleam of softest light will fall.
And our children's faceless children
will form a circle around us, holding hands.
And they will watch us all, opaque-eyed,
sinking together, one by one, bubbling down.'

NIGHT TERRORS: An #Anthology of the Drunk & Debaucherous

I am reminded that 201 years ago yesterday, 16 July 1824, Lord Byron was buried within his family vault.

I felt proud to have honoured Byron on the bicentenary of his death last year with this poem.
