Love swimming, skiing, sailing, being out in the fresh air, enjoy watching the seasons unfold. Love books, and peace and quiet.

NO DMs. I will not respond.

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.

They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.

But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

My friend's new art exhibition opens today. Such a talented artist. I was supposed to be going to the private viewing tonight but I'm still wheezing and coughing with this RSV. Getting so fed up now. I'm getting old and I don't want to miss out on the wonderful things I can go to.
