Very enjoyable session giving the keynote talk at the @cprecountryside.bsky.social Countryside Day and chatting to folk afterwards. Loved the children's art competition entries too! 🤩

A barn full of people watching Nic give a talk.

Nic sat on a chair talking to an audience next to a big screen showing a hummingbird hawk-moth.

Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)

Plans to weaken protections for national parks will have ‘disastrous consequences’ say green groups

Despite it all, mornings like this…

Misty autumn light over a rural landscape with a white clapboard church and a scattering of small oaks.

Thank you! I now have some proper sock wool, which would seem to be a good start! 🙂

So hard to finish me tea and biscuits by the sea and head home. But needs must and I feel lucky to have had a few days working here.
