The government’s new Planning and Infrastructure Bill could give businesses the green light to trash habitats and threaten wildlife. Say no to attacks on nature!

20mph
The Guest Editor on R4 Today mused on not rushing decisions. Like 20mph. For me 20 was too much, should have compromised with all 30mph roads changed to 25 nationally.
* Probably similar benefits
* Less drastic, more compliance
* Should be national, not local
Torfaen Community Recycling - if that rings a bell maybe you were part of an amazing project 20 years ago. So was Paul Philpot, whose funeral has just gone. We were in a voluntary group that started kerbside recycling in Torfaen, saved TCBC £700k then they stuffed us. Story soon
Our small but beautifully situated camp site going well, apart from weather! Tents welcome or stay in our Shepherds Hut. Call 01495 755557

Our wildflower meadow is probably best ever at this date, it's usually later for most flowers, but not this year. But even better today was the attached - I've hardly ever seen a Blue before July. I followed this one and got a reasonable pic. Love Blues. #Butterflies
I’m joining @CPRE also CPRW (Wales) in calling on the government to unleash the potential of rooftop solar, starting now. Add your name. Stop covering British countryside with PV panels that should be on roofs. #CPRW

God save the King, great day. Whilst no-one anywhere will ever match the Queen, Charlie (who I have met) will be a better, more independent, head of state than any politician we might elect. We should stick with the tradition that works well. #Royalty
Our camping / Shepherds Hut now open, it's about time for some sunny weather, and mostly great views over Usk Vale and Severn Estuary from 1000ft. Also pigs, lambs and amazing Belted Galloways. And always great meat from our own animals, after good lives, for BBQ. 01495 755557
Great lyrics no ? 20 - Monkees
'Girl, I don't wanna fight,
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right'
I'm into revisiting old songs, checking lyrics that I probably didn't hear. Monkees had some great hits, and there's good stuff to make you think, like this.
Why does NHS not return to the use of convalescent homes it used to have, where patients were sent to recover after surgery or illness when they needed less than hospital care? Surely this would solve bed blocking, and cost less. #NHSCrisis
Have you ECO4'd? Or thinking of it? We are just at the end, house heated by air-source heat pump, Calor boiler gone, all free. Great! But still in our caravan, partly our logistics, but for a month the whole house was uninhabitable, no heating, men all over, nightmare. #ecosystem
