🌱🦋🌎 #naturewriting

Every poem in this book started as a walk before it was a page — a spire in mist, a market square, the curve of a cobbled street. The writing always came after the boots did.
Start your morning with a wild and wonderful @theguardian.com country diary by @katebradbury.bsky.social.
They say
'Red sky at night, shepherd's delight,
Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning',
but sometimes the weather surprises you
and does it own thing anyway.
Out of the pitch dark
came a familiar sound
in an unfamiliar place:
a Barn Owl's screech,
seemingly hunting
Out along the canal.
