I’m excited to share info on three art & ecology workshops I’m running this year with Found Outdoors (Wiltshire, UK).
Each day will focus on a different aspect of the land to record and share the plant/animal life found living there.

I had a right old rant about Tony Blair's ignorant, self-interested statement on The Jeremy Vine Show today. I mentioned that he has worked as a lobbyist for PetroSaudi, earning Tony Blair Associates £41,000/month, plus 2% of any deal he brokered.
