‘I really like it. It looks beautiful, the colours are lush and it’s a refreshing perspective on the world. I love the idea of excellent dates engaging with Pliny’s figs and mushrooms, your thought provoking note on innocence, and the concept of the songs of men deep in the heart of grape buds’ – Nicki
A life-loving syllabus
What a teacher, this god who exhales perfumes and offers to impart his knowledge of nature's flourishing. And what a syllabus: "I am the genius of clouds and sunshine," answered Frey; and as he spoke, the essences of a hundred perfumes were exhaled from his breath. ...
On good nature
Fielding's comment first appeared on my radar about 35 years ago, then I forgot about it, then found it again when re-reading Joseph Andrews. Much of Fielding's writing promotes such uncomplicated good nature. Good-nature is that benevolent and amiable temper of...
Life is fragile
A recent article had a doctor refer to our 'short, breakable lives', reminding us of this fragility. Here is Nicolson's take on Homer: Homer knows that life is fragile, love suffers hurt and death comes; and that the moments on a hillside in the springtime, when the...

Sunlight time
Time pouring down with the sunlight while diaphanous drakeflies dance on the water. A perfect summer scene and one to share at the cusp of summer.
I am still sorting...
A maritime spectrum
A wonderful array of colours washing in and out of each other with the sea soughing the shore. It would have taken a sharp eye to spot this spectrum of...
As punctual as …
... an otter? Not the obvious simile, but according to this, true. This curious fact lies alongside the revelation that when the otter decided it was time to get up,...
Of mathematical timelessness
Yes, I have a lifelong attraction to the 'timeless', namely, things which retain our admiration or affection over centuries or millennia, due to an ineffable quality of not becoming dated,...
The bees’ feet
Two zooming micro-miracles singing the arrival of summer - bees' feet shaking heather bells and the 'sap-stealing dodder' twining around furze spikes.

Summer radiance whatever the weather
Having sent a new year card to a friend, I learned from her partner that she passed away last year. He sent me his in memoriam with a rich array...
A man on a carpet
Rory Stewart walked long stretches of several countries, including Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. He was therefore struck by the absence of people when he did a sea-to-sea hike along Hadrian's...
