I am a drystone waller.
All day I drystone wall.
Of all appalling callings
Drystone walling's worst of all.

I instantly memorised this little #PamAyres ditty decades ago, and it runs through my head whenever I see a drystone wall.

I live in sheep country in the Pennines. There are lots of walls.

“When you has them scrambled,
Piled up on your plate,
It’s me what you should thank for that,
I never lays them late,
I always lays them reg’lar,
I always lays them right,
I never lays them brown,
I always lays them white.”
Pam Ayres (1976)

A poem about swifts by Pam Ayres is shown on a paper cut out with a garden background. The Swifts are back! They slice the air. They're back! They're back! From who knows where. Navigating mile on mile To the very roof, to the very tile

The swifts are back!

Thank you Pam Ayres for kind permission to share your poem.

You can record swifts in your local burial ground using iNaturalist, info on our website!

Panel Discussion - America On A Knife Edge From Jo Biden's unexpected departure to the assassination attempts on Donald Trump, the 2024 US Election campaign has been a rollercoaster like seldom before.

A week today and I’ll be finishing my first stint as venue host in the #WigtownBookFestival festival marquee. Gutted that this year I can only manage two days volunteering due to work commitments 😢 But, what a fab two days I have #PamAyres, @gavinesler.bsky.social and #JamesCosmo 🤩
