I like arts, humour, poetry, water polo, sheds, cooking, history, science and nonsense. IRL the last two are what I do.

Still looking for a gift that makes a statement?
If you live in the UK I can still get this to you for Christmas. An original artwork is a meaningful and lasting gift...

There’s a field on the way to Cambridge where summer Funfayre rides are put up for a few days - I assume to be repaired. They stand under the cold sky like exotic birds resting before continuing their flight south.

Occasionally a train passes, its speed, colour and noise mocking the tired ride.

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me.

From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.
