What an utterly perfect September evening at #SyonHouse celebrating 30 years of achievement of Thames Landscape Strategy. So lovely to see patron Sir David Attenborough there and looking so well. Looking forward to hearing about the new next phases. Congratulations to the team.

Did you know, leaves don't turn orange, yellow and gold in autumn? Those colours are already there, but are otherwise masked by the dominant green of chlorophyll. So when someone talks about leaves turning orange, you now have a smug response in waiting. Photo: Tom Bailey

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
