I’ve completed the #HudsonSwim2023! 315 miles from source to sea. People have fought for 50 years to get this river clean. And today she is beautiful. I will never forget the wildlife. The bald eagles, the vultures, the beavers and black bears. So this is my message 🏊‍♂️👇🏞️ The Hudson is emblematic of all rivers in the world. If the people of the New York can do this, then your river can also be saved. But it takes constant vigilance! Rivers are the arteries of our planet. Everything that we hold dear relies on their protection.

'Eden Rock' by the Cornish poet Charles Causley is one of his most moving, I think. 'They are waiting for me somewhere beyond Eden Rock: My father, twenty-five, in the same suit Of Genuine Irish Tweed, his terrier Jack Still two years old and trembling at his feet. My mother, twenty-three, in a sprigged dress Drawn at the waist, ribbon in her straw hat, Has spread the stiff white cloth over the grass. Her hair, the colour of wheat, takes on the light. She pours tea from a Thermos, the milk straight From an old H.P. sauce-bottle, a screw Of paper for a cork; slowly sets out The same three plates, the tin cups painted blue. The sky whitens as if lit by three suns. My mother shades her eyes and looks my way Over the drifted stream. My father spins A stone along the water. Leisurely, They beckon to me from the other bank. I hear them call, 'See where the stream-path is! Crossing is not as hard as you might think.' I had not thought that it would be like this.' My mum and dad in Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1954, the earliest photograph I have of them together. She is 18, he is 19. They had first met perhaps a few weeks previously.

Bracken is the only British fern where spore-cases are in a narrow line along the edges of fronds, with the margins curled backwards to form a cover. But it only spores about every 10-25 years after long, hot summers, when it produces c.30,000,000 spores per frond in Aug/Sep #WWW

I’d like to share my joy in finding a Victorian postbox hewn into granite. I think there’s one similar near you @RedRiverCroft in South Erradale?

Book launch day @GairlochMuseum! V. exciting, v. nerve wracking. Never done anything like this b4 but there'll be familiar faces from S Erradale, Gairloch & beyond ❤️ #Windswept is now a real thing, with a life & purpose of its own, making its way out into the big wide world...

We re-framed Rembrandts Anna and the Blind Tobit this week. We replaced the re-gilded French 18th century frame with 20th century gilded slip with an un-cut Dutch 17th century ebonised pearwood frame. Suddenly the light shines out of the window inside the painting
