RT @jm0ses: As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.

Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.

As a child in the 70s I camped with the Scouts on Dartmoor. We dug latrines & gathered firewood to cook with.
