Regulus regulus 
Highlighter crown. 
Yellow for a princess, orange for her prince,  
fluffed-up monarch in miniature, 
glowering goldcrest. 
Caught, capsized, topsy-turvy-ed 
by teasel,
 
jailed for greed 
for that one-more seed.

Had a potter up the lane for some Christmassing. Finches & fieldfare twittering & chattering in the gully by the sheepwash, fresh signs of badger & last night’s fox, water glinting off the lane & dripping purple off the alders. Slowly slowly getting back out into the world.

πŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday to me! Celebrating with a signed copy of Philip Pullman's "The Rose Field". Lyra was my hero as a teenβ€”anyone else nervous to finish her journey? Let's connect, fellow writers and readers, and share our love for storytelling. Thanks, Philip Pullman, for Lyra! πŸ“šβœ¨ #BookLovers #Writing

I'd like to chat to one or two people, ideally women (I've already talked to a load of men) who've got into the Merlin app for identifying birdsong this year. For a nice positive story. Please drop me a line, thank you!
