Autumn colours brighten the shade. Another dull day here. But we managed a walk through a favourite part of the forest, and I captured a few scenes worthy of sharing. So here are a couple of those. The small brook was completely dry only three days ago, but the recent rain has revived it into …

A walk down a forest valley. After 36 hours of non-stop rain, we managed a walk this afternoon. But still rather dull. So, to brighten your day, here’s an earlier picture of the forest, taken when the sun was shining. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four …

Beach near Kos town. For this short series of posts on our recent break, I’ll include pictures to replace the usual daily natural beauty shots I’ve been doing, so I don’t overload followers with too many posts! Travel overseas is risky and a bit odd just now: certainly from the UK. Always the risk rules …

A beach on the Greek Island of Samos. Taken in September 2016. I intended to start a short series of posts relating to our recent stay on Kos today. However, life and Windows combined to prevent me. Exchange of unused holiday currency meant a trip to the nearby city, where we also replenished our stocks …

Dusk in the forest. Yesterday, I ended my short annual period of online absence. You should try it: if you’re old enough, it will remind you what life was like before we were all enslaved by the social pressure of constant availability. If you’re too young to know such freedom, you’ll learn it’s possible to …

A rocky track on the Greek island of Samos. Taken October 2016. Every year, I have a complete break from the internet. I believe it keeps me sane. However, earlier this year, I committed to posting a picture of the outdoor world every day, to share with people stuck indoors, mainly due to the Covid …

340 pagesBiological Evolution/Biology/Higher Education of Biological Sciences I came late to this seminal work, published 1986; a somewhat turbulent and formative period in my life. Wishing I’d read it at the time is pointless but nevertheless the case. It requires a special type of academic brilliance, combined with a good deal of experience, to tackle …

A quiet walk through part of the Forest of Dean. Every year, I have a complete break from the internet. I believe it keeps me sane. However, earlier this year, I committed to posting a picture of the outdoor world every day, to share with people stuck indoors mainly due to the Covid 19 crisis. …

The white cliffs of Dover are famous, of course. But there's another stretch of chalk cliffs in the UK, the only other one, at a place called Flamborough, East Yorkshire. Each year, I take a complete break from the internet. I’m deluded into believing it keeps me sane. However, earlier this year, I made a …

Natural harbour on the Greek island of Rhodes. Taken October 2017. Each year, I take a complete break from the internet. I’m deluded into believing it keeps me sane.

Looking across the valley at the village in the Forest of Dean. Each year, I take a complete break from the internet. It recharges batteries and gives time to reflect on the world as it was before we were all required to be in constant contact. However, earlier this year, I made a commitment to …

In the mountains of the Greek island of Rhodes. Taken September 2017. Each year, I have a complete break from the internet.
