Thank you to the Wiltshire Life team for hosting a great awards ceremony last night at Devizes Corn Exchange. Sadly their last ceremony as the magazine has printed its last publication. Also a shout out to the sponsors for help making it possible. #wiltshire #awards #salisbury

Whilst dodging rain showers, we have been planting our new juniper grove (what is the plural?). They are all south facing, with views across the Wiltshire Downs towards the New Forest. Very peaceful. #juniper #replanting #Sustainability #salisbury #wiltshire

Not all artisan & craft gins are alike & not all distilleries are alike. We are proud to join the #ActuallyMadeIn initiative alongside Manchester Gin, Tarquin’s Gin & Brighton Gin bringing transparency back to spirits. #ActuallyMadeIn #Salisbury #Gin #Wiltshire

Our young junipers planted onto the Wiltshire Downs last month, are thriving - young shoots are appearing at their tips. Just need to keep the nettles from blocking out their sunlight. Love ladybirds. #Wiltshire #Salisbury #Rewilding #Juniper #Gin #sustainability #supportlocal
