I am proud to have worked with him over the years.

Given anger around the RT Greener Farms Commitment, my latest piece for @FarmersWeekly is pertinent:

“You get the food system you pay for & we’re paying bottom dollar…corporates voice platitudes about the natural world, but do nothing to help us act”.

@CXonk You're welcome! Hoping to be back on IOW soon so I'll look out for your work there too. (Maybe I got the cards at Quarr?)
(I'll be litter picking again when I'm back, this time sponsored. If you feel like RTing that'd be nice- but really no pressure https://t.co/Je93b16uod )

Cover crops in the dark.

@MsChrisTwit Thank you so much for the share, I pop my art on Instagram. That linoprint was inspired by the Farmland birdcount a few years ago, we were between two storms so the lapwings were all inland
