Confessions of a reformed Lawn Addict. Oh, the swelling ambition with which I greeted my first lawn! (it was tiny). How I would nurture it! Feed it. Weed it, ruthlessly. Mow it close, until its stripes looked like the No 1 Court at Wimbledon. Reality was very different. Inconvenient patches of muddy brown forever reappeared, […]
A Small Island. I’m currently reading one of Bill Bryson’s funny books and he beautifully describes a little-known area near Heathrow airport which has somehow escaped development.

Keep Lancing Lovely – Ten Years Cleaning Sussex Beaches. Down here on the coast, we’re lucky to have organisations like Keep Lancing Lovely: a tireless network of volunteers who clear the beaches of all sorts of mess and rubbish, enjoying themselves and keeping fit while they do it, as we found on the sunny Tuesday morning we spent with Wendy Peters, Graham, Rosina and Angela, the KLL team who were combing the shingles of Lancing beach for wood, glass, cigarette butts, vapes and plastic litter of all sizes.
Give Dry a Try in 2024 We started our ‘Give Dry a Try’ campaign in January – but not for the reason you might be thinking – though that’s an excellent idea as well! From January 27th, the Sussex Green Hub our once a month event is encouraging all to ‘Give Dry a Try ‘ […]
