‘You look kind of menacing?’ ‘Oh really, tell me more…’ ‘That long proboscis thing, It’s rather like a sword.’ ‘It’s for getting at the nectar In the...

Phantoms, that’s all we ever were, Vapour trails melding in the rush hour. The same shades of green flicker past And morse code blinks winter sun...

Posted on Sun, 13 Oct 2019
I can really relate to this and the pleasure you derive from walking in the forest. I think the Japanese refer to it as a 'forest bath'. I wonder if there could ever be a return of some of the creatures we've lost now that we have too many deer...

Posted on Fri, 27 Sep 2019
Hi Rhiannon. This reminds me of the cosy nights in, indoor heat and nice things to eat and all the glowing shades outside. We're so lucky aren't we, to have warm, clean houses and such a choice of food. Every season has its grey days, you're ...

Posted on Sun, 28 Jul 2019
