PMQs: “Green Party peer Natalie Bennett [never] stood up in Prime Minister’s questions” as she has not ever been an MP and the PM sits in the Commons not Lords. 37 which is ironic, in a way. conway detests dreamy people; an attribute both the victim and suspect share. As the pair begin to investigate, Aislinn’s boyfriend, Rory, soon becomes their prime suspect. However, Conway and Moran have a few alternate theories, they are batting around and want to hold off on arresting ‘lover boy’, to see what falls to earth after they ‘shake a few trees.’ We sit there, drinking, while the stuff we should probably be saying out loud get itself done in the silence.”

Völker, Sebastian., Kistemann, Thomas, 2011.The impact of blue space on human health and well-being - Salutogenetic health effects of inland surface waters: A review. International journal of hygiene and environmental health.In an autoethnographic context, submersion in wild river bodies presents the potential to move from mind into body and for presence. Much like meditation, it offers health and well-being and recovery, an opportunity to become other or more than human. A water body, in a water body. We began our rural living experiment in 2015, permitted by the local planning authority to live in our woodland while a disused structure was being converted into our new home. That project has stalled, and we now find ourselves living off-grid while restoring our wood and caring for a range of rescue animals. We would like to stay, but two main external politico-economic forces – which we never for a moment envisaged when we first moved here – one of which concerns the proposals contained in Hayes’s book – may well drive us away. Hayes believes people are entitled to enter land owned by other people as their wellbeing depends on it, and because it is a legal fiction that strangers walking on such privately owned land is harmful to its owner 3 (actually, it is, but I’ll come to that later). We, however, dread the thought of people entering our sheep field, camping, lighting fires, burying their poo with trowels, 4 and it enrages me to think people would do the same in woodland, when we expressly refrain from entering over 90 per cent of our wood. Trespass is very complicated, unless it is breaking and entering! Is trespass breaking and entering? I read this book slow...BECAUSE the DIALOGUE is juicy--REAL and engrossing!!! I didn't want to miss a thing!!! The other interesting point was what happens when you get in to a “confrontation” with other trail user groups. English lads were explaining how they’d discuss the situation with the other party etc.

To quote the late Labour MP, Jo Cox, I suspect we have more in common than which divides us, and I would have liked to see this book speak to a wider audience. Unlike its predecessor ‘The Book of Trespass’, which goes more deeply into the history of land ownership in England, this is a book specifically designed to turn thought into action to bring about change. The message is too important – and the power of the landowners too great – to miss out on any potential support. Except that the case turns out to be more complicated than first thought. It’s more than your “bog-standard domestic”, a much-too-common “boy beats girl” story. Something smells rotten about the case, and the rot may just extend all the way to her own (much-hated) squad. It means you have the right to destroy it. Exclude people from it,mine it, do what you like. The right toturn a thriving wildflower meadow into a dead monoculture of wheat. This is why our natural habitats have been so badly exploited.In collaboration with musician Louie Cooper, a trespass heart rate forms the basis of a rousing and contemporary multi-channel, spatial score. Based loosely on Gabrielle Roth’s musical ‘wave’ and 5 Rhythms movement practice, the score begins with slow hydrophonic and ambient sound reflecting the trepidation before trespass (and wild river swimming), building in musical depth to encourage participants to move during the three-minute piece.
