oh my gosh, i would love to participate in this v much. i'm just writing about maple syrup season right now, as we've tapped our trees and are collecting sap on the days warm enough to get it flowing. if you're amenable, i'd love to play around with the idea of mapping as it relates currently to maple season for a post. i'd also be interested in playing around with the idea of mapping/forests/ancestry, as several generations now have walked the same woodlands. i wrote about it once, in a different way, here: https://goodtothinkwith.substack.com/p/on-the-things-we-leave-behind
Please let me know if you're amenable. I'd hate to presume. N
Thats what I was thinking… it’s not quite as simple as I thought especially without access to any detailed ‘ prehistoric essays ‘ on my hill. Eeek indeed!
Don't worry, just write whatever you wish to write! I'd much rather have something you enjoy, something which taps into your own corner of the world, and brings you pleasure to write, rather than impose strictures! All the post was really just ideas. As long as mapping, time, and nature feature, I'll be happy (which I know they will, from your DM!).
Alexander - this is really intriguing. You have captured my interest. I am interested in this. I do have quite a bit on my plate at the moment but I would like to think and work on this. Not sure when I will have something but I am going to keep this saved for some inspiration and thinking.
Oh I would love you to take part, that is great news! And there is certainly no stress about time or deadlines, I'm happy to keep this project going for as long as people want to share their own walks. Thanks!
You are very much barking and playing around all the right trees! This is a beautiful piece, thank you so very much for sharing it. If you would like to revisit this idea and share it as a part of this project, do give me a shout. Loved it!
I’m still down! Especially now that I know I can eat elm samaras! 😉
Have you had any yet? I'm looking forward to your assessment! And thrilled you're still interested, thank you!
Not yet! I’ll let you know!
Haha, that’s great Anne, I have been nursing our one remaining Elm for just that reason!
Doesn't surprise me you also knew this!
You knew the secret!

Oh yes please! That would be wonderful, thank you so much.
I've just read the post you link to, and I think your ideas are fantastic. Can't wait to see what you come up with, thanks!
It still all sounds really interesting, and I would still like to take part. I shall have to give it some thought as to how to approach it 🙂
That's super! Thank you! I'll look forward to whatever you come up with, I'm confident it will be excellent, after all!
Oh dear, now the pressure is on, lol.
Haha! No pressure at all, just do something you enjoy and it will work!
Do we have to stick to Mesolithic or can I go off piste, so to speak?
By all means go off piste! There are no real rules here, just the questions of mapping, of time, and of nature. Combine those in any way you wish!
Lynn this is something you will shine so brightly at… I can’t wait to see what you create!
Me too!
Eeek! 😂

Do you mean something like this or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I'd love to! It'd be wonderful to e part of your project Alexander. I'll read through yor project suggestions again and do what is required :)
That's fantastic, thank you!
Haha, I was just wanted to know if something less based in pre history would be acceptable… I’m hoping so Lynn for all the reasons I just stated!
Hugely informative Alex, thanks for this… I have questions? When don’t I? I’ll DM you though…
Can you ask here so we all benefit from extra info? 🤣
