More Green Team planting this morning - mainly cherry and blackthorn, which is going to make spring on the ridge-top fabulous in years to come. Great weather for it, and Connie proved herself to be the most helpful dog in the universe :) #rewilding #conservation #treeplanting

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Can't believe we just saw this fabulous show at the Deaf Institute, Manchester (capacity - 260!!) - Jariah, from Brooklyn. Great to be reminded that, despite everything, America continues to produce groundbreaking, inclusive, spellbinding performers like this!

Fabulous day out with the Mellor Green Team - planting trees and digging out the culverted stream (where they're hoping to release otters next year). With all the s***t going on just now, I can't think of a better way to de-stress. And we got sunshine 🌞
