A lovely thing to be doing in the New Year.....

🌱 Volunteer to Plant a New Hedge!
We are inviting volunteers to help us plant a vital new hedgerow on the Benfield Hill Local Nature Reserve. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference, boosting local biodiversity, improving nature connectivity, and creating new habitats for local animals. It's also a great way to meet like-minded people, get outdoors, and enjoy nature!

📅 When and Where
We have two separate planting sessions. Saturday, 10th January and Sunday 18th January 10.30 am - 1.00 pm on Benfield Hill Local Nature Reserve (Nearest Postcode: BN3 8EX / WhatThreeWords: counts.shield.worked).

Please arrive by 10:15 am for a brief safety guide, with planting starting at 10:30 am. Full details and instructions will be sent to everyone who signs up at least 48 hours in advance of each session.

Parking and toilet facilities will be available at West Hove Golf Club.

🧤 What to Bring
We will supply tools, gloves, and refreshments, but please bring:
Suitable clothing: Waterproofs, sturdy boots, and clothing you don’t mind getting messy! (Optional) Your own snacks, drinks, or gloves.

Important Note: This activity involves physical work, including walking on uneven ground and carrying tools, and requires a certain level of fitness.

A new year can feel full of beginnings and promise...or it can feel mundane, overwhelming or full of expectations.

Maybe we can slow down, appreciate the small and beautiful, and see each new day as a precious thing.

Here's to finding the magical in the mundane, and the awe-inspiring amongst the ordinary.....

A new year can feel like a magical time of new beginnings.....or it can feel mundane, daunting or overwhelming.

Maybe it doesn't have to feel so 'big', or carry so much expectation.

Maybe we can find some beauty and possibility just in the new morning that meets us every day.....

Here's to small, intriguing possibilities, found scattered in the meadows or in the dusty corners of attics.....

Spent some time seeing, thinking, writing, chatting at this truly incredible exhibition by at in London today.

Well worth checking out not just for the superb photography and excellent curatorship, but the subject matter, which is essentially about our humanity, and how we choose to express ourselves when something threatens to invalidate or nullify our existence.....
