These #haringey residents are clubbing together to sponsor and look after a number of new trees for their street. It was great to meet them today and answer questions accompanied by Haringey’s Tree Manager. Want to do the same visit

Writing clarifies thinking.
Write to learn how to make the complex simple.
Write to learn how to convey a big idea in the fewest words.
Clear thinking is a genuine super power, with a little self-discipline, you can get better at it.
Write stuff down.
Clarity is powerful.

Never Settle.
Relentless progress takes a particular kind of mindset.
It is in the walls of the building.
And the hearts of everyone.
It has to turn up each day.
Be hungry for what we don’t know.
Now, how can we get better today than we were yesterday?

Indigenous Peoples have been in the frontlines, fighting to protect their lands and the planet for generations. This is a historical win to Indigenous-led movements, not only in the US, but around the world.

Read about how the quilt progressed during lockdown in this month's edition of A&G!
