...hosting a visit by the Minister of State for Agriculture, Jane Kennedy, at Hope Farm today. But now she doesn't have a job in the government and we await news of her successor. How many times have I heard the phrase 'interesting times' over the last couple of weeks?
It's a pity the Ms Kennedy won't see the new species that has started nesting at Hope Farm - but she is welcome to get in touch to fix a visit if she'd like to - and I'll tell you which species it is soon!
A love of the natural world demonstrates that a person is a cultured inhabitant of planet Earth.
