Today is International Earth Day. This year's theme is #InvestInOurPlanet. Our suppliers have to meet our sustainability and ethical standards – from the washing powder we use, to the chocolate we sell in the shop. The food we sell is locally sourced and organically grown too. pic.twitter.com/oiimP6bcnP

The winter work on the farm right now is coppicing. During this year’s cut, we're embarking on the restoration of a truly ancient hornbeam and oak wood boundary bank. Restoring these truly ancient trees is a bit heart-in-mouth, but if it results in new growth it's a huge win! pic.twitter.com/3GRn6xKWQC

Morning brew interrupted by this beautiful Willow Tit flying into the window. If you ever hear a bang on the glass, quickly check underneath and nearby for a stunned bird.

If world leaders think COP26 was "a good step" because too many climate scientists, commentators, NGO leaders spin it and pat them on the back, then we'd have a double failure. We are out of time, folks.

I wish I could make the world realize what an emergency we are truly in.
