Delighted and excited to have work published in Bradt's latest anthology South America: an Anthology of Travel Writing. And alongside such incredible names! So grateful.

Hi Nick, I often wonder which plants are okay to pick for mine when I'm out for a walk and the internet just seems to be a black hole of "feed them this and they'll spontaneously combust" kind of advice. Any tips?

On behalf of all animal carers, please stop photographing us cleaning out enclosures when you visit a zoo/farm park/rescue centre. We're just trying to make the animals' home clean and nice before they come back in, and we can't imagine why you want a pic of us covered in straw and poo.

Our intern is not officially on display in that enclosure. He’s just between apartments right now.

Phew, I do feel better after seeing this.

If you see a tree in the middle of the road, please be patient as it takes time for them to cross

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Ooh I have 999 followers, that's fun. Wonder who'll be the one to tip it over to a thousand...

There is nothing better than watching these two fuzzy herbivores having an absolute feast in the garden. I've told them I need the grass cut by bedtime.

Oh wow, I'll take that. I think the other guy's reason should probably just pip the post though 😂
