Sadly, this little bird’s nest was blown out of a tree this morning. But what an exquisite work of art it is: mossy-bowered and feather-lined and held together with a weft of tiny twigs.

Happy 40th birthday to the finest screen version of the Robin Hood legend. I remember sitting down to watch the first episode and being spellbound from the word go. Intelligent writing, a terrific cast, superb photography, that gorgeous music. Everything worked. A true classic.

There will be signs… #StandingStoneSunday

Horses rampaging through the streets of London, Big Ben sounding the wrong time and now the Moulin Rouge losing its sails? I would advise against any unnecessary carriage journeys to Fiesole.

📣The shortlist for the 2024 #RSLOndaatjePrize is here📣🥳

It means the world to me that the brilliant Will Tosh Shakespeare’s Globe has offered such kind words for SHAKESPEARE’S BORROWED FEATHERS.
