We are long past the point where we need a discussion on democracy today.

It’s the time of year for woodland walks. Today I went looking for old larches, and followed a few bisses.

The Degrowth Paradox: It's growing. The last few years have seen immense...growth...in degrowth. It feels like degrowth is beginning to be significantly broached in culture, politics and economics, and certainly now more than ever.

A raw weather day - snowfalls imminent, so a mountain valley walk. Still on the search for old larch - these two will look majestic in a 100 years.

We did. This is a genuinely enjoyable afternoon. Fantastic pies, good beer and the same standing room as everyone else. (No prawn sandwiches in sight). Plus the responsibility of choosing the man of the match. Plenty of entertainment. Thanks Kendal Town FC

Great short read looking at BCorps and degrowth - featuring two of our members, Duncan Pollard & Victor Giannandrea!

Not really prescient, but a suitable image as a last post, at least for some time.
