I am busy helping with an exhibit from my workplace UK CEH at Chelsea Flower Show in London at the moment. I am mainly helping with the planting and I am at the stand answering question on Tuesday and Friday this week. If you are there say hello :-). We are in the Great Pavilion. #chelseaflowershow

Absolutely stellar paper by @C__CS 👇

In Hastings for the Jack in the Green festival where I danced with my Morris side, Black Annis! A lovely weekend of Morris dancing finishing with the procession up to the castle where the Jack is slain to bring summer back.

The plan would fund up to 14 new marine protected and conserved areas, at least 10 new national parks and freshwater national marine conservation areas, 10 more national marine conservation areas, and 15 national urban parks.
