"And then autumn is motorway rain and the dirty courts of service stations, greys and greases and the smeared crimson brake lights streaming into junctions, and days that seem to shut themselves down, disgusted and forgettable."

WTF @wordpress.org – cmd+K to insert a link, as it has been for years, still visible in the toolbar tooltips, but when I type it I get this? Tell me this is a "me" problem and I can fix it myself, please.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

We’re sorry to hear that Henley Swim has stopped trading and won’t be running events this year.
Today we’re thinking of the swimmers missing out on an iconic event, and the Henley Swim team we’ve enjoyed working alongside.
