The Memory Stones stand next to Tout Quarry on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. Positioned so shadows are cast to mark the spring/autumn equinoxes and the summer/winter solstices, each stone bears an inscription to demonstrate its connection to the landscape #StandingStoneSunday

A little while ago, one of my finalists asked for a book recommendation, something to do with nature, that they could escape into post-exams. I suggested Amy Liptrot’s ‘The Outrun’. I got to see the film last weekend. Such beauty, ending on this :)

The lichens have been loving the attention. And such interesting research questions being thought up :)
Day 1 of the Year 1 field trip to the Isle of Portland in Dorset. Some of our students have been looking at the lichens and stones in Tout Quarry. Others have been down at Portland Bill. More to follow on Insta later…

Where the stockmens’ goats once feasted on the seaweed, shiny stones appear in the evening on Goat Ledge at St Leonards-on-Sea. Released by the sea, like buried sea monsters their smooth skins erupt from the surrounding shingle in the intertidal zone, wrinkled carcasses exposed.

My spalling copy of @beakheads ‘King of Dust’ which was great company whilst in Dubrovnik, the city of limestone, recently. A wonderful book. A love letter to stone @LittleToller

A huge thanks to @VBivar and the @EnvHumsOxford team for inviting me along. Great to share ideas and hear about all the fantastic work going on in the field :)
Blue skies for a perfect afternoon exploring @WythamWoods with @EnvHumsOxford colleagues, including an introduction to all things lichen by @NEA_Carter. Thanks @VBivar for masterminding 🍂

For anyone becoming interested in the idea of nature-based solutions to environmental problems, this is a neat little summary 🌎💚
🌍Nature is powerful. Nature-based solutions can help address the climate crisis. And by using them, we’re protecting nature and protecting people via @ifrc

I stood and thought of David Almond’s ‘Skellig’, but not before Márquez’s ‘A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’, as failure followed failure (5/5)
