A long weekend of slow work digging up regrowth from old stumps and seedlings while getting stung by bees and drenched in the odd downpour at our first site in Corr Uí Mhongáin..... mostly done here but some giant rhubarb will eventually need seeing to

You will read a lot of posts today (and over the coming days) about the EU proposal to lower the protection status of wolves. Unfortunately, most of them, coming from both sides are half-truths and quarter-truths. Want to have a full picture? 🌍🦤

With scarcely a voice being raised against it, we are sliding into a police state, in which an entirely peaceful protester, trying to prevent a societal catastrophe, can get six months in jail for marching slowly down the road.
