Dal is now a tradition.

When Alex at @quietdetails.bsky.social asked me to write an album for his label based around the term ‘quiet details’ I thought it’d be a great opportunity to record hundreds of worms writhing (silently) around in my compost bin and then make an album with the audio…

Only around 35 out of 150 copies left!

Northants village gathering for Rogation Sunday walk, followed by lunch in the village hall. So pleased we restarted this last year. Great turnout including many dogs, and two horses.

Florence, having an exciting walk this morning.

Wonderful night at Temperance Cafe in Leamington Spa with The Leisure Society in trio formation. Fantastic performance, great musicians, evocative songs, just completely engaging. Perfect.

How’s your morning going?

Sometimes I remember that when I was born there were no man-made objects orbiting the Earth. And then I remember that my grandmother was born before human flight and lived to see men walking on the Moon. #thepastisntpast
