Sara Hudston (@islomane) on how horses have shaped the English countryside #Echobox=1698257682" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">the-tls.co.uk/articles/the-b…

The stillness and rhythm of dancing oaks #exmoor

'Experiencing the living world alongside his children brings him into contact with an unsophisticated, more instinctual approach, one that seldom starts with “ooh, that’s lovely”, but often begins with “whoa, that’s gross”.'

A REVIEW. A REAL REVIEW. Thanks, @islomane and @TheTLS. the-tls.co.uk/articles/the-j…

@exmoormare Don’t worry, I was back and forth between the many tents and rings!

@islomane Sorry I missed you on Wednesday - was a busy day and I seldom made it out of the trailer/showing area!

Best view: Ley Hill on Exmoor unfolding between a horse’s ears

@DavidMullHere @hazel_press @KatrinaNaomi thank you! I think just about all 50 copies are now sold and @hazel_press isn't going to print any more, so you have a true piece of ephemera

Well, this is a rather lovely thing! The new @hazel_press Catkin by @KatrinaNaomi and @islomane

@Ivor @hazel_press @CharlestonTrust thank you Ivor

Inspiring session of drawing and poetry with Sara Hudston @islomane @hazel_press in the beautiful gardens of Charleston House followed by a bracing walk in a gale up to Firle Beacon for this stunning view @CharlestonTrust

@DrDavidCooper And of course Thomas Hardy's 'Afterwards': "If I pass during some nocturnal blackness, mothy and warm,/When the hedgehog travels furtively over the lawn,"

‘Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen’: (A Midsummer’s Night Dream). I’m looking for examples of hedgehogs in literature for a teaching session. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! [Edward Topsell. The historie of foure-footed beastes. 1607. Folger Shakespeare Library]

What made us in the woods so late? While @KatrinaNaomi channeled her inner Dorothy Wordsworth, I had a go at summoning Coleridge in ‘Christabel’ mode

Lime blossom. And now, rain

Tens of thousands of foxgloves the colour of the earth are flowering in Doverhay Wood, where a conifer plantation was cleared. It already looks so different from when I wrote about it in November last year theguardian.com/environment/20…

Country diary: A healthy population of rare caterpillars and a republican goldcrest. Plus mention of @savebutterflies work on Exmoor theguardian.com/environment/20…

'Online music stores offer hundreds of contemporary recordings of humpback whale 'music' for our relaxation. All of them, Haskell notes, have been edited to 'omit the blare and cacophony of the lived experience of real whales'.' (@islomane) the-tls.co.uk/articles/sound…

Dorset nightjars and more in my review of Sounds Wild and Broken by David George Haskell in this week's @TheTLS

Our latest newsletter - featuring poetry by @IBoffa, the @Soc_of_Authors #TreeToMe initiative with 10 questions to ask publishers about their eco-footprint, @ruthpadel on The Verb and a photo by @exmoormare of the youngest Hazel on Exmoor hazelpress.substack.com/p/hazel-press-…

Shapes and colours: fox moth caterpillar just emerged from hibernation on the moor and fallen poplar catkins in Porlock

@TransitionTog @guardian @jonalex thank you!

@islomane @guardian @jonalex Duly noted! Thanks, I'll amend!

Can citizens' assemblies save the planet? The Guardian's @islomane was surprised to be randomly selected to apply for one drafting a #PeoplesPlanforNature, launched yesterday. @Natures_Voice Her fascinating write up from the inside: theguardian.com/environment/20…
