Backyard wonders with wings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am having one of those mornings where I both want to do all the things right now, and also I want to lay down and become moss. It is cooler today than it has been, and even now, in this early spring, I get a sense of just how hot summer will be - always my least favourite season, I know I’m not alone in beginning to dread summer in this changing climate.My backyard has been filled with the song of Magpies lately, more so than usual as the families from around the area have caught on to the sec

Hello my loves,I knew a few months ago who the star of this month’s Hedgerow Journal would be, but when I came to weaving the words for the theme - Wild Herstory - I instead found something very curious indeed:Why, when wolf has been so deeply entangled with human stories for thousands of years, don’t we have a single, obvious wolf-woman-goddess in classical mythology?The classical goddesses of the forest have associations with wolf by virtue of being guardians of the wild, but in the stories we

I think about how people who work in places where they’re surrounded all day by what we label as particularly unpleasant

And our bodies are calling for it.When I walk in the mornings, on my boring suburban streets, there is one particular part of the path that has 11 trees in a row that I can easily reach from where I walk (without bending to the side).
