Windswept: Life, Nature & Deep Time in the Scottish Highlands, my debut book pub'd @WmCollinsBooks, shortl'd Richard Jefferies Award for nature writing, longl'd Saltire Book Awards for non-fiction, is available in paperback. It's a love story to place & filled with wild things.

Families with autistic children need our help not RFKjr bleating on about paracetamol. My lass is raising funds in support of autism research so if you feel able to donate even a small amount, that would be wonderful.
With humble thanks ❤️

Hmm... looking at the forecast for Storm Amy… she's a right b***h and makes Floris look like a real pussy. There's trouble coming.

I wrote an essay on high altitude peat bogs in New Guinea for "The Book of Bogs"(edited by Anna Chilvers & @clareshaw.bsky.social @littletollerbooks.bsky.social)
Here are a few pictures recorded on a life-changing research visit to the New Guinea Highlands when I was very young 😊
