This Wednesday evening online, I’ll be talking of how, each month, nature works on a different aspect of our wellbeing and gifts us insights. I’ll take you through the whole wheel of the year and how to see ourselves through nature if we choose.

We have selected 12 amazing projects to be judged for this year's West Midlands National Park Awards. Keep watching over the coming days to find out how each contributes to the West Midlands National Park ethos in its own way. @MyBCU @LandscapeADM @BCU_BSoAD @BCUPressOffice
Happy to report a very smooth journey to Folkestone from the Midlands via the M25 and M20 to @LeShuttle. No queues to check-in either. They even put us on an earlier crossing because we had allowed extra time for the expected delays and arrived a few hours early. Woop.

The #QueensBatonRelay passed through #Lozells this morning for the #CommonwealthGames #Birmingham2022.
It's brilliant to see @georges_park, one of last year's WMNP award winners, being used by so many people. We love following what's happening in your community park!😍
This morning, #Lozells welcomed the #CommonwealthGames2022 #QueensBatonRelay at @georges_park - the atmosphere was electric with hundreds in attendance. #BeBoldBeLozells #CWG2022 #ItsABrumTing
