Hello friends. You may know I had to very reluctantly give up running forest school sessions in August 2024 due to developing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. But I am still just managig to do some occasional work in community arts. In an effort to spend less time on social media, and focus what time I do spend on promoting my community art work, I've deleted Facebook (not messenger) from my phone. But I do post my art escapades on insta as If you are on insta could you please please please follow me and recommend me to your friends? N.B. Some of my work is not suitable for all ages.

I will pop back here to share if I'm running any family friendly workshops but following me on insta would be helpful to me making the most of life with CFS.

Park and rides are an excellent way to reduce traffic pollution in busy town centers. But this is not a scheme necessary for the scale of need and has been started with no concern for planning rules or the nature of Coatham marsh and the people who valued the space as it was. This is typical behaviour from the people involved putting profit before people and planet and ignoring rules that don't suit them.

One for the children!

Happy publication day to Saltburn author Em Lynas! Her beautiful picture book, 'Annabelle and Flower', is available from Book Corner now. Behold the themed window! I'm really chuffed with it.
