When a man if considerable restraint delivers a speech like thisโ€ฆ
This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again

Today is #OrchardBlossomDay. A good opportunity to see the finest and largest blossom circle in Yorkshire, the Bellmount Orchard in Bramley. Some day we'd love to organise some events here. @loveleedsparks @leedsParks #blossomwatch

What could be a better way to celebrate #OrchardBlossomDay than with the beauty of blossoming orchards, the bounty of delicious apples, pears, plums and damsons that they produce, and, above all, the rich wildlife of traditional orchards? orchardnetwork.org.uk/orcharโ€ฆ #BlossomWatch

Across Europe, and especially in the UK, valued traditional orchards are rapidly declining. Over 200 of the remaining orchards are publicly celebrating their value with picnics, fairs, tours and other events over the weekend and up to 1st May. #OrchardBlossomDay ๐Ÿ“ธ Coton Orchard
