Thank you Rob for tonight’s conversation of deliberately meandering responses at RGS. A good opportunity for a modest confluence of geographers to meet up, listen, & talk shop - great evening. I have my copy & looking forward to an immersion, a few dips & the occasional paddle.

Attended a talk about ‘Sarn Helen’ as part of #Llandovery Wild Literature festival, by author Tom Bullough & Jackie Morris illustrator (of the book) author & artist. Began to read it & enjoying the ‘journey’ a lot! Poetic, heady words, animals nested in sacred geometry& painted in tonal hymns.

As in human societies, the transmission of knowledge is vital to animal cultures. The endangered Egyptian vulture depends on pre-migratory gatherings to share safe routes. With so few elders in the Balkans, juveniles often fly straight over the sea & perish there. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One of the best things about winter's minimalism is the way deciduous trees focus attention on form, texture & the relationship between branches & shards of sky. I'll be sharing some that warm my cockles in winter over the next few weeks. Have any of your favourites bared all yet? #trees #winter

I visited the ‘Cathedral of the Pines’ at the National Pinetum in Sussex this weekend. The sculptural pillars of the trees, the diffuse silvery light through the pine needles & the tall narrow space drawing your eyes up to heaven, meant it really did have the timeless & sacred feel of a cathedral

Just had the most unexpected nature experience: opened my boat hatch to see an otter frolicking in the Roding, in the willow directly opposite. Slightly hard to believe that there could be an otter in Barking, but I managed to get a video of what would appear to be the most urban otter in London!

Ginkgos are spectacularly on the turn rn: gold-on-blue above, chrome-yellow fallen fans below. Ginkgo biloba is a profoundly ancient species. The group of trees it belongs to pre-dates the dinosaurs. These trees watched us arrive—and they will watch us leave. Send Ginkgo-photos if you’re so minded.
