@ChrisGPackham This has resonated with me for days. I truly hope you are OK and can take the time to be your amazing strong true self. You bring knowledge and beauty of the world to us all, whilst educating us to wake up and see. Stay strong and keep believing in the worlds capability to act. x

Can't believe couldn't do any digging this weekend. Strange that I seem to be getting withdrawal symptoms. Guess the freeze does some good

[Nicola Bennett @FreshAllotment]

Silence is now broken - have been away from the computer for a couple of weeks - but now back and running - looking forward to snow going

@meridiantonight How lucky for the 14 homeless in Twells to have 100 volunteers to help them. that's 7 volunteers per homeless person !

All my girls seem to be fine without Aggy today - obviously hens not as sentimental as me! They've even decided to lay me a few eggs
