Heating people, heating spaces
With well-insulated houses and central heating as standard, I always grew up with heating the space as how you stay warm in the winter.

Fast-moving layers bring novelty and experimentation, while slower layers provide stability and memory. Together, the layers support, reinforce, and challenge each other—creating robust, adaptable societies.
"Fast gets all our attention, slow has all the power." — Stewart Brand

A nice illustration of the inequity of rainfall distribution across the UK.
Be surprised if it doesn’t become a much bigger issue with the devolved nations as shortages in England become greater and more acute.

1 in 6 children in Wales has been in poverty in 3 out of the last 4 years.
🚨 Urgent, radical action from the Welsh and UK governments is needed to avoid lasting consequences.
Our report out today with @bevanfoundation lays bare the state of poverty in Wales in 2025.
