On a rainy day, I recommend heading to your local bookshop and charming the staff into giving you treats. Or on any day, in fact.
Proper fenland peat.
For thousands of years these fields were at the bottom of a marsh. Now they're some of England's most fertile farmland.

If I've GOT to wait while the strawberry bed is being weeded, I may as well dig myself a bed in the compost heap.

As autumn draws on, the morning patch of sunlight in the courtyard gets smaller and shorter-lived every day. I'm making the most of it before it disappears altogether.

I would happily join any such group - if you would too then get in touch with Marie. The madness being proposed by Tories and Reform needs to be opposed, and migrants' rights need to be protected.
(if anyone would like to maybe start some sort of campaigning or pressure group of and on behalf of immigrants with ILR and settled status in Britain then I would be interested in helping, or indeed trying to get it off the ground myself, email in bio, etc)

You want to keep your liberty?
Guard it like a favorite stick. You let one fool call himself ‘Master of Treats,’ and next thing you know, he’s telling you when to sit and when to beg.
Democracy’s a chew toy. If you don’t protect it, someone else will drool all over it.

I'm not sure if this snail is ever going to move, but I'll have a word through the intercom and see if I can get things going.

Exploring a section of the Icknield Way, an ancient route across England that some say may be the oldest road in Britain. It certainly predates the grey squirrels I barked at.
