Sussex hedgerows have a dazzling array of colourful berries this month. How many species can you identify in our hedgerows?

Did you know that you can use elderberries to make jam, sauce or chutney? Elderberries must be well cooked. See recipe ideas: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/berry-bonanza

Whether deliberate or inadvertant, with little pomp, the gvt. just blew airport expansion out of the water. BEIS finally updated its carbon prices to reflect our national emissions reduction targets. Carbon prices applicable to Leeds, Southampton, Bristol, and Stansted tripled /1

Airports have been incredibly reluctant to present the (monetised) carbon cost of their expansions. Despite government guidance explicitly asking for it. This is why. The carbon cost of these projects will completely wipe out even their overstated claims of economic benefit /2
