(Ref. Alistair's selected poem this week about mushrooms growing in the shed)

I've been catching up with The Big Scottish Book Club on BBC i-player, in my view the only really good book programme around, so catch it if you can! Anyhoos, one of the authors in the last series (Cal Flyn) has published a book about nature regrowing in contaminated abandoned areas which sounds fascinating and sad but hopeful. It's called Islands of Abandonment, have a look at what it says on-line.

Have a happy day if you can!🤗
