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.'

Sharing a recently published piece – 'An Unbroken Tale of Dull Sadness' – as part of the 'Poets' Walk' project, written in response to themes inspired by Coleridge's 'The Eolian Harp'.

For all those caught in lasting desolation & swept along in the tragic dance. 🖤

I've struggled with my mental health/well-being for most of my life. Talking therapy has helped in the past but recently things have been incredibly difficult for me.

Since starting SSRIs in June I can honestly say that I feel a sense of calm & happiness that I've never experienced before.
