Some of you might have missed my video of this fox’s close encounter, as a cub, with a certain Labrador. You can watch the video and read the story surrounding it here.

Neglected Structures & Overgrown Places #07 — Front Wall
I’m not sure if the neighbours with pristine front gardens approve of my cracked wall sprouting weeds but I think it has character, like my old G-reg car that’s only washed once every six months and has spider-webs attached to the wing mirrors.
My excuse. I’m a writer, of course, and see art where others see chaos.

Monday Morning #Haiku 30 — Sea-kale
Wholesome sea-kale,
food of ancient mariners.
Protected species.
#
Please note that in the UK (and probably other countries), it’s illegal to harvest sea-kale that’s growing in the wild.
In the old days, this super-nutritious plant saved the lives of many mariners by helping prevent scurvy, but then Victorian foodies over-harvested sea-kale and now it’s so rare that it has become a protected species. But the good news is that you can buy packets of seeds and grow it in your gardens or allotments.
The ones in the picture above, I found amidst camomile flowers on the shoreline a few miles from my home and this was first time since my childhood that I’ve seen them in their natural habitat.

Monday Morning #Haiku 29 — Grey Heron (1)
Reflected in lake,
grey heron stands motionless
contemplating fish.
