Lovely evening at Clare Cottage where my 3x great-grandfather Henry was born in 1820, listening to folk music that my shepherding family would have sung two centuries ago. Chuffed that they're selling my book #LandBeneaththeWaves in the shop too.

Karen and Amber in their bookshop in Shaftesbury, smiling at the camera.

Karen & Amber from the fantabulous @foldedorset.bsky.social chatted about my upcoming talk on their most recent Instagram Live & said they'd noticed a lot of love around for #LandBeneaththeWaves which made me quite emotional! Can't wait to talk to @jonwoolcott.bsky.social in Shaftesbury next Tue 💚💚💚

My favourite comment on #LandBeneaththeWaves today was from a lovely fellow @hertswildlifetrust.bsky.social volunteer who said "Brilliant book. Thought provoking and full of interesting things. Loved it. Quite a hard read in places. Thank you for being frank. I do hope it helps others too." 🧵1/3

I love @britishwildlife.bsky.social and I'm excited to have an article in it this month on the lost #nightingales of #Hitchin and shifting baseline syndrome - an extract from my new book #LandBeneaththeWaves ⬇️ uk.bookshop.org/p/books/land...

Off on a familiar journey to Cambridge. But not to work teaching English A Level as I'd have been doing 15 years ago. I'm off to Heffers @blackwells.bsky.social to talk about #LandBeneaththeWaves and there'll be some familiar faces in the audience! ☺️ #chronicillness #lifewriting #booksky

I've got a feature in @britishwildlife.bsky.social on my nature memoir #LandBeneaththeWaves and how vital natural history records (like the @hnhsoc.bsky.social's journals going back to 1875) are in identifying shifting baseline syndrome.

Now the pond's almost finished I'm nearly ready to release #LandBeneaththeWaves into the wild in my own back garden...🤣🌊📖

Here's my mum at the launch of #LandBeneaththeWaves. We weren't sure she'd be well enough to get to London, so it was wonderful to have her there. She's been so supportive of my book (which has taken considerable courage on her part) and I love her very much.🥰

@summersdalebooks.bsky.social #MECFS

This was one of the most interesting conversations I've had on #LandBeneaththeWaves on living with chronic illness, the transformative power of writing, & how I find solace in nature.

It makes me SO happy to see my book out in the wild. Two lovely readers have sent me photos of #LandBeneaththeWaves - one in Mrs B's Emporium in Bath and the other in our local library! How cool is that?! If you've spotted it 🙏 send a photo. 🥰💚📖

@summersdalebooks.bsky.social #booksky #naturewriting

This is probably my favourite of all six Make a Metre Matter features I've written for @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social

Create a Habitat Haven is about seeing our gardens as spaces we share with other wild creatures. Very much the ethos of #LandBeneaththeWaves too.

#naturewriting #wildlifegardening

I found the process of recording #LandBeneaththeWaves hugely nerve-wracking, so to get feedback like this is a wonderful confidence boost. 🥰 #booksky #chronicillness @summersdalebooks.bsky.social
