Shutting out the noise...



Going back over 200 years William Wordsworth wrote these lines about feeling out of tune, feeing overwhelmed.. This flower's perfection stopped me for a few moments this week..
 
The world is too much with us; late and soon, 
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers; 
Little we see in Nature that is ours; 
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! 
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon, 
The winds that will be howling at all hours, 
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers, 
For this, for everything, we are out of tune..

NFU Tenants Conference

  It was really interesting to go to the NFU Tenants Conference last week and here a presentation by Alan Laidlaw, the Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector . In England, 45% of holdings are either wholly tenanted or mixed tenure, and a third of all agricultural land in England is tenanted. This leadership role has a wide remit and significant potential for positive outcomes and impacts.  This role will require courageous leadership  the subject of a previous post on this blog.
