Something different for #PostboxSaturday ... The folk at Bookends Keswick www.bookscumbria.com and Bookends Carlisle www.bookscumbria.com have been offering customers free stamped postcards (and postbox) to send handwritten mail to friends. The inspiration comes from my new book, The Postal Paths, featuring Handwritten Letter

Postal paths at Glenridding and Shap in #Cumbria are featured in my new book, The Postal Paths. I'll talk about these routes, walked by rural posties until the 1970s, when I speak at #Penrith Library tomorrow (Wednesday, May 14th at 7pm). Do join me! trybooking.com/uk/events/land…

70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like James Rebanks are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. Rachel Reeves: increase funding, grow our future.
