Foraged bottles from the nature reserve. The kids are absolutely obsessed with searching for them at the moment.

Thank you!

Zine pages in progress.

Beautiful structures of decay.

A gift from the garden.

Back with this beautiful book again. It's the unusual combination of being powerful and provoking but also brilliantly accessible. Have you read it?

I absolutely loved reading these. 💚🌍💚

I basically just want to live in a world where there are still phones in this building and I walk out of my house to use one to call my friends. 💚☎️💚

Not a suggestion for Belfast....but one day can you and Tyson Yunkaporta get together. I think that would be absolutely amazing. X

I love these conjoined trees in the nature reserve. Reaching out and holding on. 💚🌳💚 Has anybody ever seen trees doing this before? #forest #trees #nature

Fortunately we didn't! 😌

I think it may be Perkins Purple dye - "Developed in the 1860's London Purple was a vibrant purple dye that was very popular. It was used both as a fabric dye and pesticide. Made from lime, ferrous oxide, aniline (poison), and Arsenic Trioxide(poison)! Poison purple clothing, bad idea!" ☠️☠️☠️

Don’t gift our work to AI billionaires: Mark Haddon, Michal Rosen and other creatives urge government More than 2,000 cultural figures challenge Whitehall’s eagerness ‘to ­wrap our lives’ work in attractive paper for automated competitors’

I wish I could share my home fermented, nut milk kefir with you. I can't believe how good it is. And the nut pulp from making the milk has been used to make a delicious "cream" cheese. 💚💚💚

I love this.

Wow! That is beautiful.

Gorgeous!

Stunning!

Absolutely obsessed by the way that these fungi in the nature reserve were following the root away from the tree. The wild world is incredible. #nature #fungi #mycellium

Update on the blue Victorian poison bottle. When I cleaned it the powder in it (which I thought was soil) turned the water bright blue. What might it be? #localhistory #archaeology #industrialarchaeology

Degrowth is more than just an academic discipline. It is a convivial movement with care at its centre, based on values such as solidarity and justice, and on a commitment to transforming the world in a way that respects people and nature. Yet like all communities, degrowth consists of people.

Beautiful irises in our garden today. They are a fleeting feature, but whilst they are here they are pure perfection.
