Great launch night at Prema Arts Centre in Uley, Glos, for Joe Magee's #Broadcast exhibition. Read the March issue of @cotswoldlife.bsky.social, then do visit the exhibition (on until April 17, with some fab originals and prints for sale)!

A packed-out cinema at #Gloucester Guildhall last night for Voices Gloucester's film event. A life-affirming celebration of the diverse people of our little city, and a joy to experience. All films now available to watch on the website... recommended!

This foxy book has become more and more foxed over the decades it's lived with me, and smells as earthy as its contents. Wonderful! 🍄‍🟫🌱🌼 #RichardMabey #FoodforFree

On this (Boxing) day of walks, some good walking/access news:
c. 40,000 miles of historic rights-of-way in England & Wales have been reprieved from deletion from the “definitive map” of such paths.
Great work @ramblers.org.uk & other campaigners on this.

Thread icon, thing. This is the cover art for what I'm working on at the moment. (one of them) What is wonderful about this is...a lot of things, hence the thread. I think that just because you've passed age...i don't know, twelve or something, that means you can't have illustrations in your books..
