Wonderful book! I've loaned my copy and can't get it back!
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.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a happy, healthy New Year. It's chaos here with a house full of excited little ones. Cards are unwritten, there are presents to wrap & food to be prepped, so slightly ahead of schedule, here's a Red River Croft Yuletide dawn specially for you!

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The bill to reopen the gov will enable the crucial work of the Library of Congress to continue, but we still need to secure funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services as well as the National Archives.
