Hope the exhibition goes well, they’re lovely photos and deserve to be there. It’s staggering isn’t it, how we’re increasingly pushed away from what we should be enjoying more of and helping protect. The elite are getting their ways little too much at the moment and we’re right to fight that.
Tina and I have recently started canoeing/kayaking, became members of British canoeing and we’re allowed to explore something like 3000 miles of waterways which sounds like a lot but when you consider that’s only a fraction of the overall 10000 miles or whatever it is, my figures are off the top of my head here; we’re being denied a lot of what we should be enjoying and looking after as a nation.
Thank you Nick, lovely to receive this message from you. Pleased that this newsletter / publication of mine is resonating with people.
That sounds particularly beautiful being out on the river, you're very fortunate, and I'm sure very appreciative of the connections you're making in those environments. I hope you continue to enjoy accessing the natural world this way. This limited access opportunity should be a right for everyone as opposed to a paid for privilege, with education and responsibilities factored in, though unlikely under this government.. as we know ..
The more access we have to the natural world the more we are liable to care for it ... : )
Thanks. It’s something we enjoy and are members of a local canoe club who explore rivers locally and further afield sometimes. There’s nothing better than loading up some provisions for the day onboard the boat and then setting off to explore. You meet other river people along the way and see the world from a different perspective. It’s so good. Weirdly I thank 2020 for making us want to take it up as a pursuit.

Enjoy the river my good friend.
