Yeah it's only matter of time before they decide archaeology is the reason for the housing crisis, too.

I remember being taken round there by Billy O'Brien in 2017.

He said it was the largest dolmen IN THE UNIVERSE

I enjoyed making Fr Ted images:

This dolmen is the largest on the universe....this dolmen is very far away...

Fingers gripping a dolmen - forced perspective has been used.

We're extremely lucky that every year without fail we have breeding Kingfishers at Warnham LNR. Usually the first sighting gets everyone excited and the hides are packed, today I comfortably sat with a few others watching this cracking male. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #kingfisher #birds

It's not really rewilding and it's not really regen, but if you cut thru all the marketing babble, they are probably doing better stuff for the environment than most.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.” (MacClean, 1976). Today is World Mental Health Day, a day to reflect on the rivers that run through our landscapes and minds, inspiring thought and feeling, improving our our mental wellbeing. What is your first memory of a river?
