The best time of the year, bluebells and wild garlic plus a dog! #springtime #springflowers #shropshirehills #aroundtheWrekin

This wonderful #spring weather is showing off the beautiful #shropshire #wildflowers

YES! About time too, ban of #heather burning on #peatlands www.gov.uk/government/n...

Getting serious about spring with a morning at the #allotment sorting and organising. Prepping the beds for show #sweetpeas Hopefully it will be a kind spring, not to hot or cold, not too wet or dry!

The Planning for healthy places guide, developed with TRUUD & local authorities, provides evidence & inspiration to help local authorities create healthier places for all: www.tcpa.org.uk/resources/planning-for-healthy-places-a-guide-on-embedding-health-in-local-plans-and-planning-policy-in-england/

We will be launching an awareness campaign to change the narrative around planning by demonstrating the public benefits of proper planning. It will aim to reshape public perceptions, showing planning not as an obstacle, but as a proactive force for good. Read more: www.rtpi.org.uk/news/2025/ja...

Proud to be a #MiddleClassWomanOfaCertainAge Having experienced and witnessed a whole heap of misogyny in the #construction and #property sector it takes courage to call it out.
