I spent some time walking with my mum recently and went off about how amazing nature is and why i don’t need to sit in a church to appreciate the mystery of creation. If you look, you’ll find wonder in the most banal and everyday things. There is beauty in the glorious simplicity of what we take for granted whilst we get on with our lives. The grace of colour, the faultless engineering in photosynthesis, the rotation of a planet with its own self-enclosed air supply.

Nikk, Erwini and Debbie were very dismissive of me when i said i didn’t want to “settle down”. I told them that i don’t have an issue with getting married, it’s the whole get a house-decorate-have kids thing. I want my life, my marriage and my family to be an adventure itself going on adventures. I want to live with lions in my back garden and being them up.

Why? This is why. (Thanks Clare!)

Watch an Octopus turn into algae - so amazing it gets its own standing ovation. (Thanks Dan)
