There's an awful lot over at Berry Head Guy. Not quite as many as this photo, but still more than I've seen before.

Same for me but mine always seem to bloom when I'm away!

not just a London or city issue - working class rural communities are being hollowed out by gentrification with real health, social and economic consequences for people and place.

Thank you very much Mike. I've often wondered if I have an important copy that should actually be in a museum.

Thank you for sharing it. If anyone knows more about this copy I'd love to hear. I bought it about 30 years ago in a book shop in Brompton Road London.

It really is. So detailed and full of optimism. This is the signed page.

Thank you so much. I have a copy of the 1944 Greater London Plan signed by all the committee which I love, but don't know very much about.

Can you tell me if that's the predecessor of the Greater London Plan of 1944?

Well said Helen. Getting less well off rural kids into these regional cultural hubs is so important and so expensive. Our coaches are around £500 so difficult to fund but how they all love it!

I found it in a shop in Brompton Road 30 years ago. It's one of my most treasured possessions. Full of detailed maps and plans, like your Plymouth one, but all predicated on the Port of Londons dominance in the economy.

Lovely. Here's my favourite book Abercrombie plan for Greater London signed by all the committee.

Our delightful MP Mel Stride joined our local Facebook group this week. The first interaction with the community for about 13 years that we can identify. Made me think he's got some PR advisors and is about to launch a leadership bid.

Thanks for letting me know John.

Third sector and community organisations should be funded to provide this essential health intervention. Poorer places, especially those in rural areas, can not plug gaps in public health provision through ad hoc, short term funding. You can't socially prescribe the activities that don't exist.

It'll have been a death cap (Amanita phalloides) not a liberty cap / magic mushroom. Fun(gi) fact.

Would it not be a death cap (Amanita phalloides), rather than a liberty cap?
