Bluebells - went for a walk with my dog and my camera - was not disappointed!!!

Writing Cull of the Wild forced me to think really rather hard! Nothing was particularly simple... this is a clip from the talk I gave @greengathering.bsky.social - thanks @camerazoe.bsky.social - link to that in the comments - as well as to my substack account where all sorts of things pop up!

Do you ever find it hard to speak to people with very different opinions? I certainly struggle to burst out of my bubble ... here is a short clip of a film which is linked to in my latest Substack ... hughwarwick.substack.com/p/bursting-b...

thank you Suzanne

Bursting bubbles ... learning how to communicate beyond our own echo-chambers

Talk from Hedgehog Hugh (warwick) @hedgehoghugh.bsky.social

I wrote about my lawn being 'spangled with dandies' - well, now the clocks have come! Which is your favourite? open.substack.com/pub/hughwarw...

Spangled with Dandies! What is your lawn like?

hughwarwick.substack.com/p/spangled-w...

Spangled with Dandies! My lawn is rebelling against the Cult of Tidiness (in fact, so is my house!) If you would like to read all about this rebellion and also get a sneak peak at who is coming along to this year on my Kindling stage @woodhq.bsky.social find the link in the comments!!

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

really good piece from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - as ever! Doomed to repeat, we are! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘Grow your heart to the size of the world.’ It is a risky business, falling in love ...

#WorldBookDay - apparently - well - here is my contribution, so far. Two more out this year ... and another one on which I am working when not getting distracted by unrelated ideas that then end up on substack ... I will point you to the comments for the link to my most recent piece

Lovely write up of the memorial for the wonderful Romain Roch, who died in January, aged 22..poet, anarchist, lover of the wild and one of the kindest people I have ever met.

In these shattered times, love and kindest are radical and necessary.

‘Grow your heart to the size of the world.’
It is a risky business, falling in love - with people, with animals, with the world - but we have to take the chance - we cannot afford to give up.
Some words (link in comments) on the loss of a bright light ..

A Close Shave ... for a very lucky hedgehog!

A Close Shave - wildlife hospitals do so much amazing work ... this #hedgehog lost the top of a patch of spines ...a VERY lucky hedgehog! Does Bluesky squelch substack links? Just in case putting the story in the comments ... actually - if anyone knows, please tell me!

Turns out that Oxford is a hot spot for beauty in/of the beasts 🤣 The only reasonable thing is to read them both!

Thrilled that @jowimpenny.bsky.social has a new book - so much good in Beauty of the Beasts ... even if the title reminds me of something!!! hughwarwick.substack.com/p/beauty-of-...

A love story - not traditional - but still a love story. hughwarwick.substack.com/p/who-gives-...

So great to see my photos out there in the wild!!

I know that many of you will have been wondering what to get me for Christmas!!!! Well - it is easy, free ... and hopefully something that will bring you interest and entertainment ... sign up to my Substack! hughwarwick.substack.com

Bat book got delayed - something to do with the printing - think it is due out in the spring. @graffegbooks.bsky.social ?

Sofa - so good!! Helping hedgehogs in comfort! and a few headlines to make your head spin!

If you pop back a few issues you will see the theme of gratitude to teachers and mentors recurring - it is something I see as really important - and hope to become someone that others will write about in gratitude! hughwarwick.substack.com/p/sofa-so-go...

quite a lot of things have popped up - an article I had forgotten writing for my old school magazine, the first view of the cover of my new book, and a reminder that I will be talking about hedgehogs and hibernation on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow at midday ... oh - and a link to latest update in comments
