As I mentioned earlier these woods are being prepared for the arrival of European Bison and fences are being erected and the old ones being taken down. These older fences were from the previous era when Konic Ponies and Highland […]
So much to write about, and where to start? The opening weekend of Drawing Songs went well. I had some lovely conversations on the opening evening, some very positive feedback about the drawings and the songs, and much discussion about […]
I have walked near enough every day for over fifteen years in West Blean and Thornden Woods with two different dogs and I have ridden my mountain bike with friends and explored these woods before the Highland Cattle and Konic […]

It has become ever harder to walk in these woods for several reasons, and today I found parking my car difficult. We parked some distance down the approach road and followed a signed footpath which took us across the back […]

From 15th – 21st October, I had residency of the Project Space in the R206 studios – which gave me a space to exhibit my now complete illustration of Cleyera orbicularis. I was slightly apprehensive of the idea of exhibiting my work, […]
The Wilder Blean Project will introduce large herbivores onto the site which include European Bison as the headline act, along with Long Horn Cattle and Ponies and Iron Age Pigs. This experiment is happening a mile or two away from […]
