Seeing a film of a much-loved book is always a riskβnever more so than my favourite childhood story, The Magic Faraway Tree. But the @BFI preview + Q&A with Pippa Harris, Ben Gregor & Nicola Coughlan was spot on. Truly magical afternoon. Thank you π³πΏ
Coton remains bright with wings and wildflowers. 28 of the 30 butterflies named in the Councilβs Butterfly Trail thrive here, and weβre planting for the two still missing β one, the magnificent Swallowtail πΏπΈπ¦ #SaveCotonOrchard βοΈ change.org/p/save-the-green-β¦
Weβre grateful to @ASTRAZENECAUK volunteers for their hard work today: planting 100+ trees, creating a pollinator patch & wildflower meadow, and harvesting pears for the community. A fantastic collaboration for people & nature π³ππΈπ #Community #BeesNeeds #SaveCotonOrchard
Collecting fruit for the village fΓͺte today, a volunteer recalled donning a picking bag here as a child. 50 years on, these same trees still yield their harvest but if the busway cuts through, our children may never taste their gift π #SaveCotonOrchard βοΈchange.org/p/save-the-green-β¦

Well @CambsCC didnβt listenβnot to @WildlifeTrusts, @PTES or 12 other NGOs. Not to economists, ecologists, climate experts, Lords, Baronesses, Nobel winers, @ChrisGPackham nor Sir Davidβor 23,000+ petitioners. Tomorrow, we hope the inspectors will. Battle lines are drawn for Septemberβs Public Inquiry. Thank you to all whoβve given time, care and courage. Hang in there. Pls sign & share the petition.

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted.
Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.
His books still sit on the shelf, each a first edition, each tied to a cherished memory. But now, under a colder light, they seem differentβblemished somehow, as if the stories themselves have soured. Disappointment spreads quietly, like mould you donβt see until itβs too late.
The first #ClimateCrisis Lecture at @stjohnscam, is on 21 Oct. Prof Sir Partha Dasgupta will discuss why nature must be part of our economy, joined by experts like @Sir_David_King. Both back efforts to #SaveCotonOrchard. Tickets: eventbrite.com/e/st-johns-coβ¦
The kids whipped up @Nigella_Lawsonβs Apple & Cinnamon Muffins today for @ProjectOrchardβs @BBCRadio4 #BakeForOrchards! Tea with the neighbours? Absolutely un-bee-lievable! In Coton, weβre all about those pollinatorsβno bees, no apples, no muffins! ππ―π bbc.co.uk/appeal/radio4
Life took a turn, and itβs been a journey to rediscover simple joysβlike getting lost in a good book. My first step back felt just right: a live event at @southbankcentre with always brilliant @matthaig1 with poet @HollieMcTiernan for #TheLifeImpossibleπ
