Specially for @yaorenliu - a whole beautiful book full of close-up photos of mini-beasts. All taken in one small south London park.
Still a little sore throat but other than that, felt okay. Blocked out chunks of calendar so no one could pop in meetings into my meeting-free day and managed to get things done.
3 good things
1. My first pot of tea in my little red pot-for-one.
2. Lots of serene early choral music on Radio 3 this morning - calming for the soul.
3. Leftover celeriac and quinoa soup so no cooking needed.
I do love it. The fascinating fact is it is taken in the London park. Just finished the book Landlines by Raynor Winn. She is talking about in England, people are so fasticious about their gardens, the insects left with very little spaces (or diversity) to live. Thanks.
@yaorenliu Just have to say there is much more encouragement for wild gardening nowadays. I for one garden for wildlife, birds and insects and the days of smooth lawns and plants in a row is definitely disappearing :-)
@yaorenliu yes it is a lovely book
And @stowgarden is right, although it is still common for people to be over tidy in their gardens, the awareness of leaving wild sections for wildlife is gradually growing and even some councils now will leave wild sections of road verges or plant wild flowers 😊 still more to do though...
@yaorenliu oh and I can't wait to read that one, she has been working with a big folk band on a music / words collaboration - I might get to see them in the summer https://www.gigspanner.com/saltlines
