A fantastic morning with a big group of volunteers at @weareaceofclubs, planting fruit trees, pruning existing plants and clearing weeds ready for the new growing season. 🌲
It was brilliant to be back and work more on this great green space for an incredibly important charity.

It’s all about pumpkins this morning - with our heaviest weighing 9.3kg!
Our stall is open as usual with a range of veggies and chutneys up for grab - including some of the last tomatoes and freshly picked beetroot. (And of course, pumpkins!)

BREAKING: The Office for Environmental Protection slams Government over plans to scrap #NutrientNeutrality
"the proposed changes would demonstrably reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in existing environmental law, and ...the Government has not adequately explained how, alongside such weakening of environmental law, new policy measures will ensure it still meets its objectives for water quality and protected site condition".
#ToldYouSo
Proposed changes to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in law and amount to a regression, the OEP is warning. Find out more: bit.ly/45ABnj1
