Thank you for bringing @monkemma.bsky.social to my attention. I love an explanation to a dubious headline.

I visited Wisley yesterday. Had a lovely chat with a very knowledgeable team leader up in the World Food Garden about pruning lemon balm and the virtues of red orach. Also now understand (from another team) about the oak processionary moth, very interesting day. You all do a great job!

This one Miners Merlot has an orange geum growing through it and I love the combo, although some might not. A very happy accident.

Went to the Knepp Estate (rewilding project) in Sussex this week and heard them throughout our visit.

Mine's not quite as established as yours. Have you pruned it much? I read they can grow to 5m!

I'm fortunate to be the daughter of another pioneering woman. I have such gratitude for their fortitude and drive. My condolences to you and your family.

100% agree with this and have many conversations with friends and family about the difference Labour has made already. Not that you'd know if you only read the papers. Am I completely sold on everything they've done, no, but then it was ever thus.

If you follow @warrenoates1.bsky.social you'll be able to read about what Labour are achieving. I'm not a dyed in the wool Labour supporter but there's more good stuff happening that you might not be aware of.

There's being assertive, and there's being downright nasty, and you strayed way over the line.
