Start of walk
What is the difference between city and country? From my flat in Heaton, Newcastle, the only birds we hear are blackbirds singing in the middle of the night, confused by new far too bright streetlights. Here is a chorus of ground nesting birds.Anyway, I am now (9:30am) approaching the 'official' start point by Cow Green reservoir. Will I find any Spring Gentians? I will leave it to others to look for the Rotten Boroughs, which may be easier to find!
But, as Rowan Williams said yesterday, it is now time for the media to give as much attention to policies as to expenses. The biggest problem with our politicians is not the expense claims, but their refusal to take the big decisions needed to tackle climate change. For instance, the universal, free home insulation scheme proposed by the Green Party. If the company where I stayed last night is anything to go by, ordinary people are far less timid than the big party politicians. We talked about land reform, climate change and the demonisation of young people. So please check out our website at www.greenparty.org.uk.
