And full of wildlife

And with amazing healthy soil

Other people can do whatever the heck they like… but we’re gonna go again and again, and live by our principles

We just need a good, farming and environmental support system that recognises these efforts and values them

All this week we have been announcing the names of the writers who took part in this year's Voices scheme. Today we're delighted to introduce the final group, the ten writers from our Scotland hub.
Their dedication and passion has truly inspired us and we are excited to follow their writing journeys in the future.
Meet them all over on our blog >>>https://t.co/fP3MbiX2fU

"Everything I write is better than the last thing I wrote..." - This week's writing motivation comes from Jimmy McGovern who still finds that his writing improves with each script. So keep on writing!

This extract is taken from Jimmy McGovern Remembers... The Lakes which is available to watch on iPlayer now. In the full piece, Jimmy talks about the inspiration behind the series, working with cast members like John Simm, and how he feels looking back on the show today.

You can also watch more interviews with Jimmy McGovern on the Be Inspired section of our website - where Jimmy goes in-depth about his writing process ✍️

For anyone awaiting a response to their submission for our last Open Call (which closed in December) rest assured that we are still reading and will let everyone know the outcome as soon as possible.

This may not be for another couple of months due to the record number of submissions received.

It’s Day 29 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI.

Something hopeful for today. I took this after 10 days of rain on the Outer Hebrides. Light always finds a way through, even when things seem bleak 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
