Looking for Fall Mushrooms in New Hampshire. Top Story - June 2019.
Mushrooms are a truly magnificent thing to behold. According to mycologists (people who study mushrooms), there are over 10,000 known species of mushrooms, and there are even more which are undiscovered. Identifying mushrooms is a challenging and rewarding hobby, even if you don't set out to consume any of your findings. Learning about different structures and features can seem overwhelming, but once you can start to put the pieces together, simply identifying different species feels extremely gratifying.

The People, The Poetry, and The Passing Places (Pt. 2)
One of the lesser explored areas of Scotland is the lovely Clackmannanshire. This may be down to the fact that perhaps it does not have the most mellifluous sounding of names, but it truly is a wonder and right on my doorstep too. Its beauty stems not only from its understated nature but also from the bent backs of human labour. The Rolling Hills and random woodlands are interspersed with quaint small holdings and large stables. There are vast amounts of mighty steeds and handsome geldings on display as the roads twist amongst them. Horses are, of course, majestic creatures, toned most splendidly for physical work but as the road ambles past them you occasionally catch their eye, which display a deep understanding of the feeling of freedom the bike provides. Horses approve, like a gentle Grandparent would, not directly vested in any sense of responsibility towards you, but certainly not unconcerned. I like horses but do like to keep my respectful distance. Deep in Clackmannanshire is Castle Campbell which was the lowland seat of power for one of Scotland's most notorious Clans. Clan Campbell has a convoluted and complex history in terms of whose side they were on, from the Wars of Scottish Independence to the Jacobite uprising. The only thing that is safe to say is that they have always been on their own side when it came to forwarding their interests. Castle Campbell was originally known as Castle Gloom; this arises from the Scot's Gaelic word glom meaning chasm, which refers to its position at the top of Dollar Glen, a deep scar that runs through the hillside and not a reference to the long shadow The Campbell's would come to cast across the political intrigue of Scottish History.

Coming Home
Leaving your country for the first time might be one of the hardest things you have ever done. Scratch that. Every time you leave is hard. You go away for some long term travel, for a gap year, to work. You begin your adventure, your terrifying and exciting journey, in the first weeks, even months of a new start, in a new place, alone. Everything is new, odd, weird, fantastic. As soon as you step out of the airport, it's like the air smells different, the sun is not the same, and the possibilities are infinite.
