The False Gospel of Stuff and Status
We have become disciples of a flawed creed. To chase passion and value people is a much wiser way to live; or Ikigai, Detectorists, and the real meaning of life.

"IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Pls ask you MP to lobby for it now" 🌿

It’s the gloomiest of gloomy late November days and we are off on a diverted Southeastern train deep into the Weald.

Timeless magic! #KeyholeSunset
Around #solstice, the #sunlight of the setting #Sun fills a room in my house. A #keyhole in the door lets a bit of light go through, projecting it onto a hallway wall. It becomes like a giant #CameraObscura. Here's a #timelapse of the #sunset projected on the wall. 🧪 🔭 ☀️
