I love our local common in all weathers and yesterday it felt like I'd stepped into Narnia ❄️

As more public lands will be exploited for resource extraction, we must protect & restore more private land.

Milkwort was traditionally woven into wreaths on rogation Sunday, the day for beating the bounds

On the commonland here it weaves through the turf like blue pearls
Close up of tiny milkwort in the grass - this one is mid blue with white markings - buds a darker blue - open flowers were said to resemble a milkchurn - back when milkchurns were a familiar sight

We need the right to roam, full stop. Fuck the landowners and the medieval set-up we still have in the UK. If it can happen in Scotland, it can happen here. This crap has been going on for centuries since our land was stolen in the enclosures.

Seeking common land in Wales, I find Wyn, who was once a coal miner, like the men of my own past family. He shows me his lunch tin, shaped to the loaf and battered from years of being carried underground. A little relic in an old man's garage.

Calumny! I am surrounded by sheep-grazed Welsh commonland and it is packed with flora - right now, hawkbit, thyme, clover, two species of plantain, centaury, trefoil, harebell, eyebright, etc - plus numerous grasses - and is busy with insects - what do you think #wildflowerhour?

Mike Perry’s ‘Reverse Sod Swap’ exchanges a circle of turf from a field in Wales with a circle of turf from a wildflower meadow in Springfield Park, Hackney. There are 39 species of flora in the turf that went to Wales and only 4 species in the sheep grazed turf that now resides in London. 1/2

Myddfai Common in autumn sun, an old track vanished beneath gorse, only the lichen covered signpost still shows the way. Local herbalists once gathered their plants here, their lore handed down from a faery. The golden light and disappearing path makes all this believable.

Funny you should mention that...

Apart from the lands stolen from us by the Normans back in 1066, there were also the Land Enclosures from 1845, too.

Quiet week, but today's has more than made up for it.
A view across a piece of commonland, trees each side of the picture framing the green scrubland between. Everything is lit by sunshine.

We recently wrote to ministers urging them to address the lack of agri-environment funding for commons. Here's a blog post by our policy officer Amanda Amanda McCleery that explains why.
