Inspired by Hedley’s stunning picture I ventured to Wayland’s place yesterday - Through The Cathedral approach from Uffington ways to the Smithy. I didn’t want to miss the colours before it was too late. Too windy for any drone shots of my own sadly. Catch it while you can.

Good heavens, I didn't know this fabulous video is on YouTube. It's lovely to see my friends and neighbours Brian and Wendy Froud when they were still so very young! I've spent the last year helping them with a new book (we're not allowed to reveal the subject yet), which will be out in autumn 2026.

Please @mattrodda.bsky.social attend the debate on the 13th Oct on behalf of all badgers being persecuted right now. And please encourage all your colleagues to attend too. It’s literally a life or death situation for our badgers. Bad science and bad actors are prevailing unfortunately. Thank you

Want to hear something shocking? We’ve managed to secure a Parliamentary debate on ending the badger cull (13th October) but right now, we think there are only about five MPs willing to speak out for the badgers.

Brown hare backlit by early morning sun anxiously watching signatures on the petition heading for 30,000. I'm sure you've signed the petition to protect hares from shooting in the breeding season, but any more family and friends to sign? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Close up of the face of a brown hare in semi profile, backlit by the sun, with prominent white whiskers, and a slightly startled look in the one visible eye. The background is a smooth bright yellow-green from blurring of a field full of buttercups.

The witch observes a calendar of hedgerow and field edge. She enjoys a tactile relationship with time. She can stretch her fingers, feel the down and know her place in the year. Her garnering bag is filled with the plucked wonder of future charms and tinctures. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
