The northern lights tonight from my garden in Alnwick, Northumberland. The camera picks up the colour very well. To my naked eye, the colours are a bit more muted.
I’ve arrived, rather late, in Wells, Somerset, on the trail of Northumbrian-born William Turner, the ‘father of English botany’, who was dean here in the 1550s and 60s and had a physic garden, now hidden behind a high wall. I hope the pictures are just as atmospheric in daylight!
Very exciting! I now have the proofs for my book The Unnatural Trade: Slavery, Abolition, and Environmental Writing, 1650-1807. I’ll be proofing and indexing for the next couple of weeks and then the book should be out from @yalepress.bsky.social in the summer!
