You can’t see it, but there’s a filthy stench of diesel emanating from this train at Shrewsbury station. Did someone forget to tell them to turn off the engine?

Farmers have generally resisted reform to subsidies. This picture in May shows the combination of drought plus overstocking of sheep on the uplands munching the grass back to the soil, which will create erosion and reduce soil quality.

This 4 mm insect has been touring the perimeter of our garden table for an age. What is he looking for? What is he doing? Who is he?

It is precisely because Reform and the conservative Right want to destroy the BBC that the corporation’s liberals feel doubly obliged to promote them. It’s a sort of altruistic masochism. And the Right know it. Meantime the radical Left - eg George Monbiot - are denied airtime

Understandable that Greta Thunberg is appalled by #Gaza. But her protest gives weight to the idea that climate change is just one of the suite of woke issues.

I remember being told by Elliot Morley, enviro minister, in 2005 that govt did not know who was abstracting what water, as system was so poor. He was trying to fix it then. Nothing has been done since.

Tree planters in urban areas face a difficult choice. They may want to plant native species for wildlife, but the temperature in Cities is likely to favour more exotic species. Maybe some species can fulfil both needs?

Just imagine what global temperatures will be like in the next 20 to 30 to 40 years. It doesn’t bear thinking about. And politicians approving that by ignoring it.
