The Return of the Grizzled Skipper
Being a butterfly in these days of climate change and air pollution is not easy. There has been a steady decline in butterfly numbers across the UK over the last twenty years or more. One or two species do well as the average temperature increases and with it their range too increases. Others, the majority, find it tough. How can we help them?

When R.U.S.S. of UK art and music collective BRED PUDDING writes about his elderly father, who recently died suffering from dementia and in a nursing home, it's both moving and funny at the same time. That it is performed over an alternative rock come post-punk backing track makes it even more compelling. The track is called 'Diamond Geezer' and I had the pleasure of working with R.U.S.S. as he brought the track together.

SKEP – Fruit Routes Summer 2018Top Story - June 2018
Fruit Routes, June 2018 at Loughborough University in the U.K., was three days of events created and curated by artists and food activists Anne-Marie Culhane & Paul Conneally around food systems, food production, eating together, growing, and climate change. Fruit Routes always has a feast built into it, sometimes more than one; this year it was a Wild Tea Party called 'In Your Hands' where foraged nettle and sage tea was drunk followed by tasseography, a reading of the tea leaves.
