Over-mowing by many councils has started already. Dandelions, daisies, cuckooflower, clover - lifelines for pollinators - mown down to lifeless, 'tidy' grass deserts. Is your council taking positive action to restore at least 30% of nature, or is it lagging behind?

Butterflies are in serious decline. Latest reports say of the 59 native species monitored, 33 have declined & 25 have improved. Butterflies whose lifecycles are tied to specific habitats, such as woodland clearings or chalk grasslands, are those struggling. You can help in a small way...

St. Knut’s Day falls on 13 January (originally the 7th, but moved to separate it from Epiphany). In Finland, it marks the end of Christmas—and the arrival of the Nuuttipukki: a horned, ragged figure who demands leftovers and beer or threatens to create mischief. #FairytaleTuesday
Illustration of Nuuttipukki, a small, goat-like folkloric figure with curved horns and glowing green eyes, dressed in a fur-trimmed coat and boots, carrying a sack and a walking stick, breathing out a puff of cold air. Text above reads “Hyvää Nuutinpäivää” (“Happy St Knut’s Day”). Artwork by Sami Kivinen.

Each month has its own quiet beauty — snowdrops in January’s pale light, sweet peas in June’s warmth, sunflowers glowing through late summer. My 2026 slim wall calendar gathers these moments together, with a plant photograph and a seasonal quotation for every month. #Calendar2026
A collage showing the cover and three inside pages of the Venetia Jane 2026 slim wall calendar. The cover features autumn maple leaves in shades of red, orange, and gold. The January page shows a close-up photograph of a single white snowdrop against soft green and yellow tones. The June page shows a small vase filled with brightly coloured sweet peas in pink, purple, and white. The September page shows a cluster of vivid yellow sunflowers with dark centres. Each month includes a lined date grid and a short quotation at the bottom.
