It's some stickers. Get some perspective.

Keep up the great work Zack.

Thanks Chris. Hugh's book is not cheap but it was fasinating. I struggled to find many books on this subject when I was doing my initial research so thank you for highlighting Peter's writing.

Zoning would need to be drawn up to examine where the worst areas of danger are & safe, humanitarian places & corridors would urgently need to be established. Rebuilding, faithful to the former Gaza could be & should be the goal. Collective trauma of the Palestinian people is the reality.

If the ceasefire plan works, the reality of rebuilding would take years, but first, unexploded ordnance needs to be cleared alongside the tragedy of finding people who have been lost and unaccounted for under the rubble. Land contamination will be a huge challenge.

1/1. After the Ruins by Hugh Clout was a book I studied for my First World War exhibition back in 2018. I was interested in learning how land can recover after war. Hugh's research focused on Northern France after WW1. 92% of homes in Gaza have been destroyed & over 60% of their infrastructure.

The word Rebirth!
So not regeneration, rejuvenation, rebuilding, restoration....

It’s book publication day for #GhostsoftheFarm! It’s been a lifetime’s companionable & instructional haunting, & I’m thrilled to bring these women from out the shadows, honour them & raise & address my own rural ghosts. Love & thanks to @chelseagreenbooks.bsky.social & my early readers too x

Reform will attack anything and everything if it grants them headlines and attention. Starmer should go to the COP30 with his head held high and start addressing the subject (something that has been chronically neglected by him so far).

Anna Dillon @annadillon.bsky.social · 20d

Totally with you on this.

Large yellow underwing maybe common, but they are stunning to see. Great work. Moth identification is really hard. I'm in awe of people who can identify the micro moths.

St Catherine's Hill, Winchester, rising high above the Itchen Valley floodplain. On the summit of then iron age hillfort is a beech clump and nearby buried remains of a Norman chapel.
