Field Journal and Dino Quest

I’ve been emailing authors and academics, influencers and intellectuals about two brand new podcasts I’ve been working on, Field Journal and Dino Quest from the UK’s children’s radio station, Fun Kids.

Right now, I’m in St Austell having spent the morning at the Eden Project, my first ever visit. It’s beautiful and very inspiring, from the rainforest under the domes to a lizard sunbathing among the plants in the Mediterranean biome.

The Eden Project's biomes from across the valley, geodesic domes among Cornish greenery under a clear blue sky. A bee-fly resting on a white cistus flower with crimson blotches and a yellow centre. Magenta strawflowers with bright orange centres, papery petals catching the sun. Inside a geodesic dome at the Eden Project, banana leaves and a towering mound of greenery under the hexagonal roof, a wooden sign reading Your journey begins this way. A cluster of white trumpet lilies with yellow throats and orange stamens, pink-flushed buds above them. Silvery shrubs and wispy grasses climbing a slope inside a sunlit biome, the steel frame of the dome arching overhead. A small speckled lizard basking on dry leaf litter between spiky green and yellow leaves.
