I love the early light. This is the path I follow out of the woods. It reminds me that there’s always a way through everything eventually; we just need to keep going, keep looking.

"The prickly seed-shucks of the chestnut have fallen and burst open, some of them spilling the brown conkers out of the soft linings that have contained and nourished them“

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.
English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

The image shows a close-up of a thistle flower against a blurred, light gray background. The flower is a vibrant violet and consists of many fine, radially arranged petals. Below it is the green flower head, which is clearly covered with sharp, light green spines. At the bottom of the image, additional green, spiky leaf structures can be seen, as well as some white, fibrous seed hairs that appear to be blown away by the wind.

A very late Verbascum nigrum overcome by rain and wind, but still blooming. Resistance in the plant kingdom.🌱
A long grouping of yellow flowers with purple centres with bright orange pollen on the stamens, on what would have been a tall stem. Lain flat by inclement weather but still blooming. Background a mix of dry leaves, green leaves and grass.

8 yrs ago a cowslip popped up on the verge between my cottage & my next door neighbour Debbie’s house. We mowed round it & have done so ever since because wildflowers are precious. This is the drift that now opens each April. In the middle of the patch one has a genetic wonk-a beautiful difference🍊:
Patch of cowslips flowering outside my house. Patch of cowslips outside my house. Rogue orange cowslip.

If you are reeling from Trump & Vance's disgusting performance towards Zelensky last night, might you consider donating to www.hospiceukraine.com, the tiny charity I set up with Henry Marsh to support local Ukrainian palliative care teams?

We delivered this Land Rover to a rural hospice in Dec...

At the edge of the woods watching the sun set, Nick Drake’s music in my head :
“When the day is done
Down to Earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.”
The last rays of the sun shine through Scots pine trees at the edge of woodland.

Unseasonal I know👇🏼🌿, but we recover from a source of stress 60% more quickly if we’ve looked at plant specimens beforehand. Take a 30 seconds to zoom in & look at the details my photo-it really will make your brain more resilient to the tricky stuff Monday may have in store:

🖤🖤🖤
For Those Who Wake in Pain Don't. Don't go to the bridge. Don't wake in your coat in the morning light and carry those stones into the river. Don't find your father's pistol in the attic, hidden in the family albums. Don't. Don't pour the pills into the whiskey, the walls dissolving like your childhood. Don't, don't leave this place in flames. Stay. Just stay. Tell yourself you'll do it tomorrow. You can always walk alone into the darkness. But not yet. Not yet. I don't have a reason to give you. All I have is the mornimg, and the autumn wind, and the child you once were in the darkness, staring at the moon through the ruins, saying save me, save me, save me, and the moon looking back with her radiance, saying I promise, I stone- cold promise that you never know, you never know the difference between the face of utter darkness and the face of something just about to change. —Joseph Fasano
