An afternoon spent on the north coast cliffs in an attempt to flood the zone with sea. Spent the last few minutes of light in the presence of a humpback whale and some gorgeous seals, gannets, fulmars, cormorants and gulls. This is the draw of the sea. #humpbackwhale #cornwall #whalewatching

Very cool news : Newly discovered footprints show that at least two hominid species were walking through the muddy submerged edge of a lake in Kenya’s Turkana Basin at the same time, about 1.5 million years ago. bit.ly/4f5ZDxD Source : @science.org on the other side

I like term novelist - it’s sexy and dangerous. Like being a duelist. Obviously, it’s mostly crying and sitting down, but still.

The views from yesterday’s offices were the wild seas off Porthleven and a very fancy coffee machine, upping my caffeine intake and barista skills with the knowledgeable Geo at Origin Coffee.

This is not the view from today’s office, which was a grey box in a library (an incredibly productive one), so here’s a lovely tree from yesterday’s instead.

Hi, I’m a novelist, a writer of non fiction with an interest in the ways we relate to the natural world, short story writer and sometimes journalist. I spend a lot of time in/on the water or among trees, play guitar and carve imperfect spoons. Chances are I’ll be posting about all of the above.
