I love words, soaking them up and writing them down. The smell of leaf mould and green things sprouting. The texture of bark. Fussing song birds, and the roar and drama of wind and waves. And humans; complex like layers of rock laid down over millennia.

"If you now mess up in one part of the world economically, it can instantly impact politics and economics in another part of the world. The same is true of geopolitical and security risk. There is a more catastrophic level of risk than ever before because of interconnected systems. That matters"

In March the UN agreed to a Global Ocean Treaty to protect 30% of our oceans by 2030. Currently <3% is properly protected. The UK Govt pushed for the Treaty & should support a ban on deep sea mining immediately. Join me in calling on David Lammy to deliver global ocean protection now. act.gp/44M8iQA

Ah…the state of things!!! Took a walk in the woods with the dog, stopped by a bench and sat for a while, tree tops undulating against the sky, once-stream creating its own oxbow feature…strangely comforted by the smell of warm dog shit I’d bagged… anyone else relate … anyone?
