Bravo to the Youngwilders. Great stuff.

"the main thing is we’ve just let it breathe for a little bit. We’ve removed a lot of grazing pressure and seen what’s come up.”

You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

This is BRILLIANT and you should see it if you can. Also, Humphrey Ker has been “extended due to popular demand” and is now 8’6” tall, which is worth seeing.

Note to people getting angry about this post: you have two options.

1. You can type an angry response, and get instantly blocked by me.

2. Or you can get off the internet and use your time more productively.

I recommend option 2.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
