Thank you so much, that's so kind. I will be back very soon. I have some leave coming up which I'm hoping will get my head straight. There's been lots to shoulder this year and I could do with some rest.

Helloooo you! Thanks so much for asking.
Have been struggling a bit. I don't post much about it but my Mum's dementia worsened significantly this year and my Dad had a stroke. She is now in a care home and it's all hitting me now the immediate crisis is over. It's been a brutal few months.

You're not wrong Dennis. The ambition is so low, and the delivery doesn't even match up to that.

At the moment, we have this idea that we can deliver housing OR we can deliver environmental benefits. It's a false binary, we can do both. But to achieve it, we need to focus on outcomes on the ground!

They're amazing, so lucky to be working with them. The book is the successor to Nature's Calendar, which they also published!

Now I'm no expert on your lepidoptera across the pond but that's not even the same vague colourscheme is it?

Oh yay! That's brilliant!
I am not criticising the picture editors at all because everyone makes mistakes, but it would be nice to draw attention to the beautiful species that *are* here instead of one that is a very rare migrant.

That is so interesting that you guys have this issue too.
We get the occasional one, blown over in a storm, but this doesn't stop graphic designers and picture editors using them as the generic UK butterfly. I mean, they are GORGEOUS but we do have other lovely lepidoptera here...

Yet another glorious day in the annals of South Yorkshire Police, a force shamed only by the superior corruption of the Met.
