A trio of planets grouped together with the crescent moon -- what a sight!

Look for them before sunrise, either with your bare eyes or with binoculars.

18 plots that make up Stanmer Organics will be open to the public for the day. Visit craftspeople , growers , well being sites. They’ll be live music, food etc. Always a good local-ish day out !

Nice to see all the flowers coming up again in Farm Green Park , from the bulbs a group of us planted a few years ago. Hopefully those hours spent planting will see the flowers emerging every spring for years and years to come.
