So this week in the world of farm/environment/land management/ mapping has been “interesting” And by “interesting” I mean “verging on the utterly bonkers” Why? Well this week started with Natural England, the government body that looks after the environment launching a new map.
England’s most detailed peat map is here! 🌱 Peatlands store carbon, clean water, and protect against flooding. This new map helps us better protect them. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/05/12/a-n… Watch the video to learn more.
Last night, Noctis left the box! He is safely in the trees and will be fed by the adults until he can hunt for himself 😁🦉
Today, more than half a million people demonstrated on the streets of London to call on our government to end its complicity in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for Palestine.

Drinking water sources are becoming more & more contaminated with harmful forever chemicals - yet chemical companies are churning out ever more of them. If we don't severely cut their production soon, all our drinking water sources will be polluted with PFAS.
Water companies keep PFAS below safety limits in drinking water by diluting contaminated water with cleaner water. As, more & more forever chemicals are made, & more water sources become polluted, there's no clean water left to dilute with. theguardian.com/environment/vi…

This structure on the corner of Cannon Street and British Road in Bedminster is a Victorian era “stink pipe” - a kind of ventilation system which released the build up of gases from the sewers below (to a height far above the noses of people using the streets.) 1/2

My question clearly struck a nerve. The faces of many Labour MPs told their own story – plenty of them know I was right. If Starmer’s convictions change with the political weather, it’s no surprise that support for Labour is falling through the floor.
Aw, I make a cameo in George Monbiot’s excellent column today theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
