Bit of spring colour in the garden! Delighted to see the forced Rhubarb growing in my birthday present.

Little glimmer of ☀️ at @thegreenestate.bsky.social much needed after weeks of miserable (news matching) grey, cold, windy weather. Love the magical sun shining through our Food Forest entrance archway! 💚

Green spaces are linked with better mental health New research has found that a green home environment, and access to green and blue spaces, protects against anxiety and depression.

Evidence from a study of 2.3m people over 11 years shows that local green space has a positive impact on #mentalhealth evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/local-...

My beautiful office in the recent snow in middle of #Sheffield Yes #Sheffield the 4th biggest city in the U.K.! Snow is a double edge sword for us. Looks lovely but stops play!
