River looking alarmingly high in #Hereford today, and still rising. check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/station/4017 And a wet week forecast for Powys. We must slow the flow and do more to encourage landowners to have buffer strips, contour ploughing, no bare fields etc.

You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. — Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum

These are the pictures we must reflect on. Protecting our precious planet from exploitation, contamination, degradation and destruction should not be about "believing" in climate change. We love nature, and even if the climate were not changing urgent action would be necessary.

Happy Birthday to gorgeous Albert Camus. Far more interesting than his more bourgeois fellow existentialists. And refreshing to return to in this time of cliché, slogans and lazy thinking. Life has no "meaning" waiting "out there" to be discovered. We must give our lives meaning.

Update from our "No Overall Control" neighbours. Worcestershire has a Reform minority administration; Herefordshire has a Conservative minority administration (they won 34.6% of the vote in 2023). 2027 local election is going to be interesting!
