It’s 2030. I’m late for the bus. No time for breakfast. Then I remember the public fruit trees the council planted to shade the sidewalk years ago. It’s late summer, so apples and apricots are ripe. I grab two of each and keep moving, reminded how simple it is to design systems that nourish us all.

Catton parkrun is (super subjective here) the most beautiful in Norwich. The shed with all the park equipment was broken into this week and £££ worth of equipment was stolen. Please have a look at the crowdfunder if you can help: www.gofundme.com/f/raise-fund...

Went on a guided walk around the community gardens in Mile Cross. Had conversations about nature, the city, and our relationship with both that will inform a new play by The Common Lot. Look out for From Mousehold to the Marsh coming to Norwich in early July.
