It makes me a little sick to say this, but, in the 1970s, I used to spend my pocket money on dead butterflies in plastic boxes from The Butterfly Shop near the Brighton Lanes.

I’m not sure that such a shop would be allowed now. I hope not. Different times…

This hand-coloured litter box outside my local corner shop broke my heart. The label reads, “Please don’t litter. There are 2 bins. If they are full, put your rubbish in this box (thank you). Be proud. You’re saving life.”

Another COP, another New Year. It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of climate change. As the late, great comedian Sean Locke said, sometimes it feels like turning up at the scene of an earthquake with a dustpan and brush. But it is better to do something than nothing. These what we can do may seem like small beans, but a lot of beans make a hill of beans.
