Beltane blessings✨Today is #Beltane #MayDay & we were treated to a beautiful blue sky this morning ☀️

In May, hedgerows burst into life as #hawthorn erupts with creamy-white blossom, giving this thorny shrub its other name of ‘May-tree’. It’s also a rich habitat for #wildlife 🐝

NEW first of its kind research published by the Green Finance Institute has shown that the UK economy & financial stability faces material risk from #nature degradation.

The analysis shows that nature-related risks are as detrimental to the economy as those from climate risks…

Today is #NationalShakespeareDay , it is thought that William Shakespeare was born on this day in 1564 which would make him a very respectable 460 yrs old 🥳

We’re looking forward to #Shakespeare on the Lawn as we welcome The Lord Chamberlain's Men back to Doddington 🎭
