Sound the flute!Now it's mute!Birds delight,Day and night,Nightingale,In the dale,Lark in sky, -Merrily,Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year.

Winter is the king of showmen,Turning tree stumps into snow menAnd houses into birthday cakesAnd spreading sugar over lakes.Smooth and clean and frosty white,The world looks good enough to bite.That's the season to be young,Catching snowflakes on your tongue!Snow is snowy when it's snowing.I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going. Ogden Nash.

It is so important to take care of yourselves and others in this heatwave. Whilst this is what is to be expected with current climate change, all we can do is to continue pressuring the government and large businesses to become greener, and quickly. For the wildlife in our communities, they just survive. Make sure [...]
What a busy few months! Over the past year, as lockdown has been eased, other commitments increased. In a strange way, I miss the gentle, easy going days of lockdown, where I was lucky enough to retreat to the comfort and safety of my home and garden. It became a little idyll for me. But [...]
