Hello folks. Just ashore after a fantastic day ambling along the achingly wild west coast of Jura. Just 20km today but slow exploring at its finest. Four otters, loads of wild goats & plenty of red deer. Just me, the only human all day. This was my camp last night. 😊

The wren wakes to frost - a bluish hush, a sense of magic. She gathers the frost's radiance, its tiny gems, and fills her feathers with it before winging low across the sleeping fields to lay them at the feet of one who is sleepless - a quiet, shy gift of light.

The sadness of this. It was a tree - living, healthy - under which proposals had been made, ashes scattered, dreams formed or let go of; a tree that was part of so many people's lives and stories (including mine and those of loved friends) - and now it's gone, through vandalism.
A savage and barbaric attack on the Sycamore Gap tree hits at the heart of Northumbria and the natural world, a very sad day to hear it has been wilfully cut down
