Former Exeter Uni Climate Vegetation Modelling Postdoc on career break due to illness. Climate, environment, wildlife, sci-fi, history, tortoises. Love reading esp Wodehouse & Pratchett. Recovering from an autoimmune condition called P.O.T.S.

Quote by Pratchett: “The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one that looks as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more stairways than storeys and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The relevant equation is: Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.”

Snow has settled in Devon. This photo shows the snow over the hills and fields in East Devon
