Celebrating the Autumn Equinox with Trees
My article in Gardens Illustrated celebrating the autumn equinox with the trees came out this week. It was also published to coincide with the forthcoming publication of my next book, The Tree Almanac 2024
A seductive mix of science, history and culture
I am excited to announce that the foreword to my next book, The Tree Almanac 2024, has been penned by the brilliant Tracy Chevalier, who writes that the book is ‘a seductive mix of science, history and culture’.
Scottish Forestry Review

Wales: where gold rises in the forests and flows forth as water. #trees #forests #wales #verse #words #nature #books. For my next guide to Britain’s forests with @bloomsburypublishing , see Bio.

So I’ve been struck down with Covid this week. Very slow walks with the dog are about all I’ve managed. A good time to pause and write some poetry, inspired by nature and by the softening light of autumn. #poetry #nature #covid #walks #countryside

And the ash leant towards the moon and whispered, ‘remember me when I am no more.’ The clouds scudded and shivered, lost in thought. The moon wept a thousand silver tears. And me? I held her as the earth spun through eternity. #verse #trees #nature #moonlight

Great to see my article in @gardens_illustrated this month, celebrating the exotic jewels and hidden treasures of trees in autumn. Part of the promotion of my next book The Tree Almanac 2024 with @booksbyrobinson https://www.gardensillustrated.com/features/autumn-equinox-trees

There I was looking for trees to feature in my next Forest Guide when a thundering of hooves hinted at strange goings on at @blenheimpalace! What an amazing spectacle @blenheimhorse is when you can see the fear and determination written large on the faces of the women and men who tackle this fearsome woodland equestrian course. #trees #woodland #horses #equestrian #crosscountry

Enjoyed delivering a talk to students, foresters, and landowners at @slu.alnarpsparken in Sweden yesterday. Talking valuable noble hardwoods. Focus for the day was on #walnut, #wildservice and #turkishhazel trees. All high value timber trees needing much care and attention by the forester. Great discussions in a beautiful setting with bright students. Inspired to write something more about this subject and maybe get some new research underway in the UK. Thanks to @slu.alnarpsparken

Caught myself this morning, wondering how many lives I’d nurtured, loved and lost. About my touch on this Earth during my fleeting passage. Do I see in my hands the shaping of a life by forces and deeds in nature, like those of an epic landscape carved by wind and water?
Before the thoughts evaporate; a fleeting moment before another day begins. #reflections #selfawareness #naturephilia #mindfulness

Hidden deep within a Welsh forest dripping with mosses and ferns, another spectacular waterfall, far from the beaten path. It will feature as one of the ‘difficult’ options in The Forest Guide Wales coming next year with @bloomsburypublishing but don’t worry, there will be lots of options to suit all abilities and interests #trees #forests #wales #nature #backtonature #waterfall

Trembling Aspen - the petioles (stalks) of aspen leaves are flattened allowing them to ‘tremble’ in the lightest of breezes. You can identify an aspen tree with your eyes shut, by sound alone. #trees #wales #nature #botany

Robin ruffle-puffle
Another great day of fieldwork completed for The Forest Guide Wales yesterday, despite the rain. I spotted this bedraggled robin sheltering from a downpour in an oak canopy. #trees #birds #robin #woodland #forest #wales #rain

Stopped by to pay respects to one of the largest ash trees in Wales near Talley Abbey. I was more moved than I care to admit, in awe of her size and beauty. In quite good health too. Pics fail to capture her majesty. I had to include myself just to provide some sense of scale. #trees #ancient #nature #ash #hedgerow #wales
