If you have been following the farmer protests in Europe (and burgeoning UK movements) you might find these international insights of interest in The Week this week. Also shows that the ‘mainstream media’ are indeed covering these issues, and in depth too.

This is going to be great fun next weekend - delighted to be interviewing Roger Morgan-Grenville and Carwyn Graves on the Sunday afternoon on all things farming, nature and landscape. Get along (it’s a lovely festival, as is Montgomery itself if you have never been)

It'll be such a pleasure to have Adam Bedford with us for a third year, debating farming, landscape and nature with Roger Morgan-Grenville and Carwyn Graves (And you're so right about Montgomery, Adam!)

This will be good - join in!

If ‘being woke’ is showing decency, respect for others and treating other people in a way you would expect to be treated yourself, I’m in! Or did I miss something?

Hello! Little note to say I’m raising money for Parkinson's UK in this year’s Great North Run…and if any lovely people might like to chuck a quid or two in it would be much appreciated! shorturl.at/TtLJi

Look at this. See what communities can do when they come together. Let’s hear about other inspiring things rather than conspiracy theories, untruths and nastiness. Everyone (and me) would do well to take the time to think what it would be like to walk in the shoes of others.

I’m running the Great North Run in a month’s time for Parkinson's UK. Here’s a little note why I am doing that, and proof that I am doing some training! If you have a spare few quid to help in my fundraising efforts that would be much appreciated! shorturl.at/Kl6WM

Done with Twitter too, moving to Threads! 👋👋👋👋👋
