Blog of our latest short break by rail and bus: An autumn break in Market Harborough, Leicester and Stamford.
This week, a tribute to #Hymenoptera for #WorldWaspWeek! With a little help from Scottish poet William Sharp aka Fiona Macleod.

My Garden of a Thousand Bees: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002t686 via @bbciplayer

Sunlight brightly blazes,
Chilly air sharply bites,
Beechmast crunches,
Horse Chestnut splits,
Plant matter decays,
Fall's arrival hastens.
Scattered split spiky cases,
yellow-green or brown, and
hard, shiny Horse Chestnuts
strewn across the footpath.

📰 Classic! Just as I thought 😏 Annie Dillard's reflections on nature remind us of the beauty in simplicity. Her work encourages us to pause and appreciate the world around us. What’s your favorite nature writing? 🌳 #AnnieDillard #naturewriting #literature
After nearly forty years, treasured diarist Phil Gates is retiring his pen. We'll miss his knowledgeable observations and wonderful storytelling. Thank you for all the inspiration, Phil!
Excited to be in Frome, Somerset, today for the inaugural Consider the Wondrous #naturewriting festival. & here' my book in the window of Sherlock & Pages. Of you're nearby, there are a few tickets on the door for my urban nature walk at 2.30
