Alpine swifts pushing ahead of the car, swirling and scything around it on the open road, spreading outwards to blade the air over meadows, fields, forests. Pressed down by heavy weather, the slipstreaming curves of the upper world suddenly on the same plane.

Meeting

Morden Hall Wetlands

Isabel Oakeshott This is what happens if you’re low paid. But you forgot this quote from the same Telegraph article “the OBR found that the average migrant worker pays more in tax than they receive in public services throughout their lives compared to British-born workers.”

Unexpectedly warm day. A short outing to Morden Hall Park my first visit, a favourite walking destination for Ian Tattum Where the Wandle has space to expand and breathe. Take some time, 1’ 03” join the trout (id tbc) dancing in the fast flowing water.

In Morden Hall Park NT this morning

I haven’t finished it yet but already drawn in and looking to find time to continue.. Almost miraculous in its evocation of character , people and place.

Some trees for the journey

Numerous publications coming up this season. The pace will pick up with an array of poetic surprises. James McConachie’s book ‘Consolamentum’ A secret edition. Winter edition. More Silver Branch features. Other updates…!!

🚨TODAY on Elon Musk's #disinformation platform, X, you'll see allegations from all the usual conservative influencers & Snr Republicans of a 911 call which 'proves' Haitians are 'hunting & killing geese to eat'. It's another divisive & dangerous lie. snopes.com/fact-check/pol…

Nature and non nature in harmony

We are having lunch before Kiss Me Kate. For both of us our first visit for many decades. And a good way to mark my retirement and our impending move out of London.
