Designing a garden in harmony with the seasons celebrates the aesthetics of each month, creating a garden that not only benefits the people and wildlife that inhabit it but nurtures the planet by encouraging biodiversity and climate-adaptive planting. In this book, Catherine Heatherington emphasises the need for observation and flexibility in designing our gardens by taking an ecological perspective on how to unite design principles with eco-friendly planting strategies. Using the timely and skilled advice in this book, you can discover how to design and plant your garden to offer successive shades of colour, texture, and form throughout the seasons and for many years to come.

  Writing Wrongly - The ongoing...

  "When the whole world's against you, at least it's something to lean on." 
  When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and teeters on the brink of collapse. Its recovery is not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying them: the same must be done to the mind responsible. 
  Thomas may be the worst writer to have ever lived, but if he’s not careful, he won’t be doing much of that, either. 
  This Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing industry. There’s lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There’s also an excellent café scene, which, although short, is worth mentioning. 
   “Dreadful. The title says it all. Except about it being dreadful. ” - Carmen Schneider. Acquisitions Editor, PBA. 
  “The publishing industry is in upheaval, it’s true. But this just rubs balsamic vinegar into its wounds and garnishes it with slices of turd.” – Robert Tasher. MD, Banquet Press. 
  “It’s ebooks like this that should have the internet banned.” - Malcolm Shrot-Faith, Literary Agent.

  Turning a simple "Hey" text into a three-day analysis of your entire life. 
  Convincing yourself that your perfectly fine presentation was actually a career-ending disaster. 
  Advanced techniques for imagining worst-case scenarios that defy the laws of physics. 
  The art of apologizing for things that happened in dreams.

  ✅ Checked their stove seventeen times in one hour.

  ✅ Texted “no worries!!” while absolutely seething with worry. 
  ✅ Said “hope that helps!” in an email while actively panicking.

  Increased self-awareness,

  Or both simultaneously.

  Alarms & Discursions -...

  G K Chesterton

  The fragments of futile journalism or fleeting impression which are here collected are very like the wrecks and riven blocks that were piled in a heap round my imaginary priest of the sun. They are very like that grey and gaping head of stone that I found overgrown with the grass. Yet I will venture to make even of these trivial fragments the high boast that I am a medievalist and not a modern. That is, I really have a notion of why I have collected all the nonsensical things there are. I have not the patience nor perhaps the constructive intelligence to state the connecting link between all these chaotic papers. But it could be stated. This row of shapeless and ungainly monsters which I now set before the reader does not consist of separate idols cut out capriciously in lonely valleys or various islands. These monsters are meant for the gargoyles of a definite cathedral. I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires. But I am very sure of the style of the architecture, and of the consecration of the church. -- From the introduction

  Summer, Year-Round… On the Moon is a gripping exploration of humanity’s boldest leap yet—creating life where none existed before. Combining cutting-edge science with visionary engineering, this book takes readers to the Moon, where builder bots and high-intensity heat generators transform the barren lunar surface into a thriving off-world resort. From extracting water and producing hydrogen to crafting tunnels and domes beneath the Moon’s crust, the narrative captures the awe and challenges of turning ambition into reality. As domes rise and oxygen flows, new questions emerge: What is the cost of taming a world that never belonged to us? Blending science fiction with real-world possibilities, the story highlights humanity’s resilience, ingenuity, and the delicate balance between progress and respect for the unknown. With themes of collaboration, survival, and the desire to thrive beyond Earth, Summer, Year-Round… On the Moon is a thrilling testament to both the power and fragility of human ambition.
