There is a lot going on at the moment.  And I am here to help.

If you are concerned about High Speed 2, why not read my colleague Andre Farrar's blog here.

If you are concerned about the implications of us leaving Europe you could always listen to my interview on Farming Today last week.  You can find it here about 8 minutes in.  I waffle a bit - but you should be able to get the gist. 

If you are concerned about the future of the United Kingdom... well that's one area where I really am not going to comment.

But, if you just want to be distracted by all of this, why not simply take a moment to look at the image below. 

This picture was taken by a licensed doormouse surveyor called Liz Cutting at our Wolves Wood Nature Reserve in Suffolk.   It is our first record of the species in the reserve's 40 year history.  As Liz says, the discovery of dormice at Wolves Wood is testament that if you have a solid block of well-managed woodland with plenty of suitable habitat, dormice will respond.  And they have, which is great.

Surely one to warm even the coldest of hearts.

  • I have always believed that whether in EU or not their are two important points,1)pay farmers reasonable amount for wildlife benefits and just as important get them to feel it is a important aspect that we all appreciate.

    Cannot believe that this small saving in time on HS2 is important as the amount of time that is wasted at most work places makes this small saving crazy and everyone almost without exception has loads of spare time.We will never get a return on our money spent on it and cannot believe with modern technology we could not run more trains on existing network.
