The village fete my friends, this is what makes Britain great.
Think your wife said you would judge the dog show too🙄😂👇
Good news, @GinnyHBall has invited me to join her at the Lyndon village fete on 3rd August, to talk about Words From The Hedge. Better still I will be sandwiched between Craig Revel Horwood and some Morris dancers.
Hi folks! After our unexpected detour to Animal Farm, we’re back on Thursday 7th August to discuss Words From The Hedge by Richard Negus aka @TrooperSnooks. That’s plenty of time to get hold of a copy and read/listen to it…. See you on 7th!

I hate to tell Helena I told you so. But I told you so. 😒
The Hedge on Legs tour continues post my holiday to Mongolia/Greece. Next stop @TheGameFair where I'll be signing copies on the @Gameandwildlife stand. Every copy you buy there supports the vital work of the Trust.
In my latest piece for @scribehound_ctr I lounge around by a Lefkaden pool to unearth the answer to a question that is on everyone's mind- Why do the Greeks embrace insects and we don't? I do the hard yards so you don't have to scribehound.com/countryside/sh…

The Big Butterfly Count by @savebutterflies runs until 10th August. Last year the Chief Exec claimed numbers were down due to pesticide soaked fields (not the wet spring?!) So farmers - send your count in & tell them how well your butterflies are doing 🦋
Thank you to all of you lovely people on here who donated to Clare's (@hedgelayerswife) Macmillan mighty hike fundraiser across the High Peaks. Along with her sister Helen they raised over £1200 for a great cause thanks to you folks.
After careful scrutiny, I have concluded every Labour minster, from the PM down, has adenoidal issues. #CatarrhGate
28% of rail journeys are now run by the public operator. Can Transport Secretary @Heidi_Labour explain what public ownership means in 28 seconds?
Dale Vince has raked in £145 million in wind farm subsidies, charges above the price cap and still can't make wind pay – Chris Morrison isn't buying his 'cheapest energy' claim. climateskeptic.substack.com/p/dale-vince-c…
To be fair I can do that without any practice these days just putting my socks on.
Rene Ben Chemoul (one of the all-time French greats) teaching Jean Debuf (Olympic bronze medalist & multi-time French champion in weightlifting) how to do a flat back bump in preparation for Debuf's wrestling debut. Several minutes of this aired on national TV in France in 1961.
Surely we have all suffered enough?

Good news. @countryslidepod is back, and this week we have one of my favourite people as a special guest, @Outdoors_George, the high heejun from @scribehound_ctr. Better yet I am absent, on holiday in Mongolia, which turned out to be Greece. countryslide.co.uk
