No words. (Though several four letter words and other expletives are reeling in my brain!! ) Very sad to follow my earlier new year’s greeting and wishes for peace and hope in 2026 with this post. Renee Nicole Good, rest in peace. 😢

So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

SHAME!!!!!
