"Despite being the cheapest, cleanest energy source there is, onshore renewable projects are blocked if so much as one person objects. It beggars belief then that the government can overrule the very sensible decision of a council to reject an application for more oil drilling in a national beauty spot, during a climate crisis.”
Doug Parr, Greenpeace
Of course, the Tories are funded by oil and gas interests. Payback time.

‘Rude magnificence’ restored: following in the footsteps of pioneering naturalist Gilbert White
RT @LewesGreenParty: A ground-breaking motion brought by the Greens has committed Lewes District council to producing a ‘Rights of River Declaration’ within 2 years. This will recognise that the River Ouse has intrinsic rights.

A fox in the sun, in a field she lay
In the South Downs of England, Sussex way
The sun warms her fur, and her spirit soars
The world around her, she can now explore
So she looks about, and she takes in the view
The chalky hills, and the sky so blue
The birds in the sky, squirrels in trees
This is the life, of a fox so free

‘LIGHT OF THE WAY’
One of those instances where I planned a shot and everything came together 😊

I haven’t been running for over two weeks now – no particular reason, and I'll get back out there soon – but one thing I really miss is the views!

For #ThickTrunkTuesday here's a spot I camped at last Autumn after a couple of days #bikepacking on the #SouthDowns
Lovely view. Neighbouring cows were gracious.
The tent is the Big Agnes Copper Spur bike pack 2 per. Yes, I took a chair 😆 !! That explains why I got so knackered on my mountain bike on the #SouthDownsWay
I always overpack but I like to sit and be comfortable

Went on a lovely walk along the South Downs on Thursday, in the small window of sunny weather between the Yuletide rain. #SouthDownsWay #SouthDowns #LandscapePhotography

Spent today winter walking and dodging deer poo at Petworth House and Park (where parts of Bridgerton was filmed)
The house displaying stunning art was decorated for the festive season, and Arun Choral Society sang some cheerful tunes
Petworth itself is a beautiful quaint market town nestled within South Downs National Park
Petworth Park is home to 700+ deer and luckily today there was only one Fenton-type dog
