A piece of poetry, a fragment of myself, composed whilst cycling through spring rain and in unabashed gratitude for bright heralds that call us out of wintry times.

The swifts are back in town! Lovely to hear their aerial cries & see their dark wings over Bridport again.
Come along on 20 May to celebrate this year's arrival & find out more about next year's #BridportSwiftTown

Heard a cuckoo calling from our front garden yesterday eve! A wonderful end of May Day treat for the ears, and first time ever on my home patch, but not much of a welcome party from the British Summer Time so far...

Wonderful day in the holloways and hills of Dorset last Friday recording for #OpenCountry with @HelenMark01 and @robinmarkwell. More details shortly, but we followed the train of the Colpexies deep underground...

In celebration of #EarthDay2024, all pupils enjoyed a story telling workshop with @StoryMartin. The children enjoyed stories about the environment, landscape and the natural world in which we live. Thank you Martin - the children had a wonderful day!
