On our way to Otmoor Bird Reserve, we invariably almost always pass by the village of Woodeaton, where on the 4th of October 1784 James Sadler inscribed himself in history by landing the first English hot air balloon, after having launched over 10km away in Christ Church Meadow, Oxford.

"April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain"
- T.S. Eliot
Travelling north, Serafina and I have come to love the wildness of inner-city Manchester. I have been reading T.S. Eliot's somber masterpiece to her and come

As we were standing there in the setting sun with waves upon waves of thousands of whirling, swirling dervishes washing over us, enveloped in the sounds of their wings and the low murmurs from the reeds, I felt a familiar rumble of joy, a deep connection to all living things.

On a beautiful sunny afternoon I ran my old route from Westwood, down San Vincente Boulevard and ending up at Santa Monica beach. The sun was slowly sinking on the horizon, painting everything in golden colours.
In the stillness of early evening with the sun setting, I thought about the words of the poet

We returned to the City of Angels to honour my friend. The traffic is as mad as ever but Californian Nature remains extraordinary, especially high up in the hills.
On this glorious morning Serafina and I couldn't quite believe our eyes when Angelhenge emerged from the clouds, as if the spires were the
