It’s been a long, cold and extremely wet winter in Australia. But the signs of Spring are just starting (I have a beautiful grevillea that’s blossoming red!).

4 days off since January, saving my leave to come to England for an epic wedding at Kew Gardens! Love your newsletters Earthworm Dan, and pics of little babe walking through gardens!

You don't see a lot of grevillea's round these parts - what a lovely flower. I wish you well to enjoy it! And I too shall be attending a wedding at Kew Gardens later this year. Coincidence...?

Finding your newsletter has been a joy, Dan, so have a lovely break. The location looks perfect.

As to my own hols? Only 2 days in my home state of Tasmania in a tiny colonial town called Oatlands. It's winter here so it was a wonderfully chill winter break!

Roll on summer!

Congrats, and I hope you enjoy your break! I’ve been wanting to visit Masungi Georeserve, a nature reserve and wildlife sanctuary here in the Philippines. Your post made me commit to really planning the trip for sometime this year!

Lucky you! Beautiful family and time spent doing what you love: writing and writing about nature and its delights. No "bullshit" job, as the late David Graeber described. Enjoy your break!
