Renewables is one of Labour's biggest strengths this term, in fact their biggest strength. You'll be pleased to know I am disappointed in the Green Party for not helping them accelerate in this limited time we have. ๐

Itโs bonkers the Government isnโt ticking off these low hanging fruit. Like properly banning fox hunting by stopping fake trail hunts, banning the use of peat compost etc. Theyโre popular among a majority of the public and yet so farโฆ nothing ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Time for the Govt to actually take action and end hunting! Where is the public consultation?!

The Govt continues to waste time over ending hunting for good
For more than a year, ministers have repeatedly promised a public consultation on strengthening the Hunting Act and banning so-called trail hunting.

Great to get down the Grow + Graze perennial edible garden with all the volunteers whoโve done a great job looking after it through winter. We planted five cultivated Hazel and some raspberry crowns from my allotment. Plus a lot of reducing couch grass! Canโt wait to see it all grow in spring.

I mean, wildlife is fun and often quite a bit cheeky.
As I look out at the setting glow beyond our garden I guess I also feel lucky for this moment. For the moss and the snowdrops, the thousands of voles uprooting our plants and the self sowing weeds that I love as much as the Akebia and Hydrangea.

I feel the same in wild places. Straddling the world of ecology and gardening I often feel this guilt about gardening for funโs sake - especially as a writer trying to offer words of wisdom - but this year Iโm going to lean into the garden again. We can help wildlife and have fun at the same time.

Often people describe the feeling I have right now on the dawn of spring as hope, but for me I donโt think it is hope. I think itโs joy or excitement, a little happiness and fun, being relaxed, the ultimate calm or simply this feeling of being fully me? Of connection to the big wide world.

Breaking news: itโs dry and Iโve been out in the garden! I planted some trees. Iโve also just wandered around and I did a lot of standing and staring. And you know what, it feels good.
