Had an actual day out on a day off! Anglesey Abbey looking lovely in the autumn sunshine plus two great exhibitions, one in the house (men's fashion) and one outside (Earth Photo 2025).

Giving myself a writing day today. I haven't had one for ages and I can feel it.

I'm starting a new blog series explaining key comms ideas and demystifying some of the jargon. First up is something I come across a lot, confusion over the difference between three key documents - strategies, policies and plans.

Unexpectedly expensive trip into town but I've been looking forward to both of these for ages. I'll read anything by Jenny Uglow but this is a perfect match of author and subject, and I love the concept of @cathamclarke.bsky.social's book so I couldn't resist that either.

First job of the new month - posting the latest in my A-Z series for CPRE Beds. I loved researching this one - I could have written so much more about the early days of public parks and access to urban green spaces!

A pleasing nip in the air when walking to church this morning and crab apples carpeting the ground. Much warmer by the time we were walking home but autumn is definitely on the way.

The dahlias are having a cracking year. (The less said about our sweet peas, the better though)
