Staring Contest with a Squirrel
On my walk on the weekend, I sat down on a tree branch of a tree that had fallen over some time ago. Just listening to the birds.
Then after hearing rustling in the foliage above me, I looked up, and saw this chap staring at me.

The Public don't hate Trans people, but the British Establishment does.
"A public consultation requesting feedback on the ponds' access arrangements indicated overwhelming support for retaining the status quo"
Leave Trans people alone you Epstein freaks! 😡

Bluebell Carpet
I had a lovely walk on Hampstead Heath yesterday, finding all the nooks and crannies away from the busy paths.
This field of bluebells under the colourful tree was a stand-out quiet spot.

Consultation results published on Hampstead Heath bathing ponds
It's great to see that the overwhelming majority want to keep the ponds trans-inclusive. Fingers crossed the powers that be take note and don't try to push in some kind of compromise or something.

In 1956, Colin Wilson, a young and ambitious writer, became an overnight sensation with the publication of The Outsider. The book, an exploration of alienation and existentialism, resonated deeply with readers in a post-war world grappling with identity and meaning. However, the myth surrounding Wilson’s rise to literary fame was as captivating as the book itself. Living in London, Wilson wrote during the day at the British Museum Reading Room and slept rough on Hampstead Heath at night, a testament to his determination and unconventional approach to life.
Wilson’s story became widely known after the Evening Standard published an article about his austere lifestyle. For many, it symbolized the romantic ideal of the struggling artist, sacrificing comfort for creativity. Hampstead Heath, with its sprawling greenery and sweeping views of London, provided solace and inspiration for Wilson during this time. Yet, his description of carrying a heavy sack of books and enduring sleepless nights hints at the physical and emotional toll of his journey.
The 1950s were a transformative period in British literature, marked by the rise of the "Angry Young Men," a group of writers challenging traditional norms. Wilson, often associated with this movement, stood apart due to his philosophical depth and introspective themes. The Outsider examined figures like Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Van Gogh, exploring the struggles of individuals who defy societal expectations to search for deeper truths.
Wilson’s time on Hampstead Heath reflects the resilience and passion that defined his early career. His journey from homelessness to literary stardom is a story of perseverance, mirroring the themes of existential struggle and triumph that made The Outsider a landmark work. Today, his legacy endures as a reminder of the sacrifices often demanded by creative ambition.

Two #bluebells growing next to each other in #hampsteadheath in London. First is the native English bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), which has a lovely scent and a deeper bluey-purple colour with petals that curl up. The stem tends to sag as it flowers on one side and the leaves (not shown) are thinner. The other is the introduced and invasive Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica). Its flowers are paler (sometimes pink), stem upright with flowers all round it, and the petals don't curl up as much. The leaves, not shown, are also broader. Then of course there are hybrids and cultivars, just to make things a bit more complicated! And both are beautiful signs of Spring :))) #wildflowers #plants #urbanwildlife

And from the same walk as yesterday's snap here's a tree on #HampsteadHeath that will soon have its structure obscured by leaves.

Came across this painting of Hampstead Heath by John Constable in the National Gallery in London. Standing in front of it I felt like I could feel the sunshine & smell the breeze, step into the frame & go & pat the donkey & then wander off into the distance. This photo doesn’t capture a fraction of the life & vitality in this painting. Imagine creating a work of art so full of life and beauty that it can speak to someone across nearly two hundred years. #Painting #JohnConstable #HampsteadHeath

This delightful #pastel is a drawing of #HampsteadHeath
I love the composition here that's filled with mostly foliage with little sky. It was drawn by a talented artist, local to our shop.
It dipicts volunteers working on the only #bog in #London
There must be a long queue for that bog!

From the high waters of white stone, and the castle of straw, to the free-tongued stone, #HampsteadHeath is a place of power.
But be careful - there are lines one does not cross.
