Introducing new cheese: Pevensey Blue. Pevensey is made by veteran Neal's Yard Dairy cheesemonger Martin and his partner Hazel. It is a spreadable gorgonzola style cheese with sweet and nutty flavours. Pevensey is available in the shops this weekend with more to come in future.

This is so important. Agriculture Bill coming back to the Commons on the 12th October. If you care about good food and UK farmers, do write to your MP to urge them to vote for amendments to protect British food standards – this could be our last chance!

Your food standards are at risk because the government won't protect them in law. Follow the link and ask your MP to stand up for nature-friendly British food and farming. sustainweb.org/news/agricult… #saveourstandards #climate

Half the world’s bluebell population is in the UK, especially the South. We have spectacular displays in the #HighWeald! Native bluebells are often found in ancient woods & hedgerows, their nectar feeds butterflies, bees & other insects. 📷at @SissinghurstNT. @Love_plants
