Slow Ways -  creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Great Britain’s towns and cities.

Hundreds of volunteers have collaborated through lockdown to produce a first draft of the Slow Ways network, creating a stunning Slow Ways map in the process. This incredible effort has led to the creation of 7,500 routes that collectively stretch for over 110,000km.

Over fifty people were lucky enough to get free seeds and compost this weekend, courtesy of Most Easterly Community Group.

'Help Make the High Street Bloom' gave away seeds for people to brighten up their windowsills and balconies and gardens. So later in the year there will be new begonias and sunflowers and even radishes greeting the sun, not to mention glorious cornflowers and rampant ranunculus.

A chance to meet up and get free bulbs - see you there

** also on Sunday **

First Light has come up with a smashing idea to celebrate nature, birds, travel and Lowestoft – First Flight, A Season of Bird Boxes. 

From seedlings great things can grow

In April I was one of the happy recipients of Most Easterly's great seed giveaway.

A sunflower seedling, a strapping 2cms of natural power. I re-potted it, and put it on my window-sill.

It's now over a metre tall, and two days ago the flowerhead started to develop. 

"It is a form of Fermat's spiral. The angle 137.5° is related to the golden ratio (55/144 of a circular angle, where 55 and 144 are Fibonacci numbers) and gives a close packing of florets." (Wikipedia)
