Woolwich ‘Public Market’. A rare and beautiful font. #woolwich #publicmarket #london #fonts #typography

Spent the morning here making some insect habitats in the pale October light with some fabulous humans. London is the best. #bethnalgreen #london #urbangardens #community #insects #stagbeetles #bringontheinsects

Research opportunity at Leeds Uni for someone interested in exploring how quickly rewilded peatland recovers to become a climate resilient landscape yes-dtn.ac.uk/research/yes...

Wrestling with research at my desk as I sat reading ‘The Long Death’ by Ralph K Andrist in which he describes the California gold rush and its effect on the Arapahoe Nation. Looked up to take a breath & saw this mottled apparition. #sunset #clouds #sky #research #ralphkandrist

HELP! This weekend I'm selling some prints to benefit a nonprofit that some friends and I started. They're 11x14 & printed professionally on thick cardstock. You can hang them as is, or they're high enough quality to frame. What should the price be per print? ALL the money goes to the non-profit.

🍃 Available to pre-order now 🍃 The best of contemporary nature writing from the winners of the third international Nature Chronicles Prize. saraband.net/sb-title/the... The anthology is introduced by nature writer Linda Cracknell. The previous two anthologies are out now! #BookSky 📚💙

Some of you might know the Arts Foundation who support artists across all disciplines & are absolutely incredible. They are raising money for the wonderful work they do via an auction. I've donated some Giclée prints from GREYHOUND. If interested, here is the link: uk.emma-live.com/artsfoundati...

Brick Lane this afternoon. #print #typography #lettering #bricklane

I am such a sucker for hand painted signs. I feel they sort of tell a story. This one is on Wood Street. #handpainting #signage #typography #lettering #woodstreet #walthamforest #london

Just finished Greyhound by @joannapocock.bsky.social and find myself wishing there were a chapter on Reno. Perhaps it should be written as a fanfic interpolation. So many complex threads are tangled in this book, to be untangled (or not) by the reader.

I have an ongoing fascination with the food photography in shop windows in London. It seems to constitute its very own specialised niche of image-making whose sole purpose if instilling desire backfires spectacularly. #photography #foodphotography #london #shopwindows

Ten seconds of starlings on a railway bridge. #starlings #leyton #industriallandscapes

Spotted this beautiful hand lettering wedged between two doorways on the High Street in Leyton yesterday. ‘Repair … Best English Leather .. used only…’ #lettering #ghostsigns #typography #leyton #london #bestenglishleather

I thought I’d use this photo of me yesterday talking Nature & Environmental Writing in one of my favourite places to say that there are still spots available on my online course at UAL starting Sept 30: www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/jou... #environmentalwriting

Shoreditch diptych: on one side the chaotic, random & accidental markings of life in a big city; on the other, the result of hours in a boardroom, massive amounts of money, endless branding exercises and market research. I know which one I prefer. #grafitti #erasure #london #shoreditch #boxpark

It saddens me to discover this project only as it's transforming. However, I look forward to seeing what it becomes.

Wanstead Park, this afternoon. #wanstead #wansteadpark #thingshavechanged #graffiti #london

There are still some places left on my Online Nature & Environmental course at @unioftheartslondon.bsky.social - we will read work by a variety of authors, workshop pieces of writing, discuss technical issues as well as approaches to writing about place. Open to all! www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/jou...

Thank you @jaqme.bsky.social for sending me this clip of Annie Dillard: “So much women’s writing is concerned with the self … the interesting thing about writing is precisely to move from personal experience to a kind of objectivity.” Fascinating discussion here. www.instagram.com/reel/DdcDZ4-...

Happisburgh beach. Pale light and hazy horizons and then a sudden burst of brilliance as the sun set. #happisburgh #norfolk #beach #lighthouse #sunset #clouds #icecreamvan #horizon #light #sea

Happisburgh lighthouse, ice cream van and beach. Magnificent light and hazy horizons. #happisburgh #norfolk #beach #lighthouse #icecreamvan #horizon #light #sea

Can anyone tell me what this odd construction might be? It’s giving dystopian vibes. On Happisburgh Beach, Norfolk. #mystery #oddconstruction #happisburgh #norfolk

Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, this afternoon. The upturned herring boats turned into sheds are such a vivid examples of repurposed objects to create beautiful spaces. #lindisfarne #herringboats #tides #watertowers #lobsterpots #coast #wetlands #architecture

Berwick-upon-Tweed. The last time I was here was 20 years ago, pregnant with the kid I’ve just left at Edinburgh University. A closing of the circle in many ways. A new chapter begins… #berwick #revisiting #lifecycles

Bed and Breakfast outside Berwick-upon-Tweed. Not an inch of chintz to be seen! #nedandbreakfast #uk #berwick #wallpaper

Look what just arrived @awestfell.bsky.social — it arrived with much needed rain! A very good portent, I feel. Anna Jameson and Jane Schoolcraft could not have found a better home than in this brilliant account. #beltpublishing #womenwriters #pioneers #victorianwomen #annajameson

My first bunny spotting on Wanstead Flats. He/She was enjoying the nutrient-rich green shoots poking up after a recent fire. #rabbits #leytonstone #wansteadflats #postfire #london #wildlife #regeneration
