Wildlife in London; Peacocks, Lemurs, Parakeets and... Chickens

Houses of Parliament at Sunset

Apologies for not posting for a while, things got hectic, went to California for a wee while popped back and then the sun came out! Hip, hip hooray.

London in the sun is the most wonderful place to be, honestly. I've lived many other places, and even though this is my hometown, it's still full of vibrancy and a sense of fun when it's sunny and warm.
Except if you're on the tube maybe ;)

Still, here's my top tips at enjoying the parks now that the tree pollen is going down, stock up on your hayfever tablets and get out to enjoy, if only for lunch time.

GOLDERS HILL PARK- N London

It may surprise you that there are Lemur's in Golders Hill Park, they cost nothing to go see, and their faces are full of exactly the character depicted from a Disney movie, seriously, they are as curious about you as you are about them, so after a tough day at work, do head to them to remind yourself how big the world is, and how much there is to see.

HYDE PARK
Parakeets, originally from India fly all over Hyde Park, they're loud and noisy, so you can be sure you've some above you when you hear their distinct squaking.

If poultry is your thing, there are some amazing featherd Roosters of all colours and sizes being kept at Hyde Park, yes, Hyde Park.
Stroll a little too fast and you might miss them, the best way to find them is to walk along the 'Peter Pan' path, it's a very

The organic allotment, blooming with produce.

This one's called RED

unusual den for a park including a mini organic allotment, full of posters of growing tips, and all the Roosters and Hens are in a pen off to the side. They're all named and sometimes a little flighty, but it's great to see them close up. What's strange is most people dont really know that they're even there, so it might just be you and the birds hanging out for a while.
I once came across a barking squirrel in Hyde Park, so perhaps city life gets to them too.
More park updates over the summer to come..

Real (dead) Mammoth in the Flesh at the Natural History Museum

Today the Natural History Museum (NHM) exhibits the actual remains of a Mammoth, a baby Mammoth named Lyuba (pronounced Loo-ba, meaning Love). Perfectly preserved due to the bacteria surrounding her after she accidentally choked to death, she was found by herders in 2007. She's been compared to the size of a 'large dog', and now hovers in a glass dark box in the middle of the NHM's new exhibition 'Mammoths, Ice Age Giants' . Emotive eyes As it's so well preserved scientists are still learning about it everyday; DNA samples have been removed and examined, what they know already is she died with some of her mothers milk still in her tummy. It doesn't get more personal than that, does it? I have to say as it's a rolling exhibit and Lyuba belongs to The Yamal-Nenents Regional Museum- Siberia, near where she was found; to see her in the 'flesh' as it were is truly a once in a lifetime thing. Personally I feel it is pretty impress...

The Quiet Enchanting, what stories can we tell to re-enchant our world?

Sometimes, just sometimes magic happens. By absolute chance I came across this free exhibition on the walkway in an area thats been pedestrianised, by Kings College London and Somerset House. It really spoke to me because it is quite literally what I've been thinking about for some time now, and I love stories, fantasy and fiction too, the idea of creating other worlds and other realms, it's magical. The Quiet Enchanting. And it was. Quietly there on the wall, almost, out-of-the-way, not shouting out, not in the bustle of walkways or near the road; you might miss it if you didn't look up. Enchanting with the images, the stark questions on the walls with imagery to suit something from dreams. I just submitted a story to Hodder & Stoughton yesterday, fantasy fiction about the world we live in and people's intentions based on my observations when I worked at the UK Department for International Development, now defunct, and got rid of by the current UK government.

My Octopus Teacher - Craig Foster in London!

One of the best things about being in this fabulous metropolis is the infinitesimal amount of people who visit, tonight we had a really special visit from Craig Foster. If you saw My Octopus Teacher on Netflix, then you know who Craig Foster is, the man who took us on those early morning freezing swims in the ocean kelp forest of South Africa. There, we see the plethora of connection, the bio diversity and the unavoidable emotional connection this man has found in the midst of utter burn out, with the eight-legged pink invertebrate of the ocean. If you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat. If you have, then his new book, which is why he’s in London, has a QR code that links to 27 more episodes. Reason enough there to buy it possibly. We were treated to a short film of an octopus taking Foster’s camera and turning it on him within the talk, we actually see from the octopus’s point of view, and see Craig Fosters knees knocking in the water looking back at the camera, held by ...
