Don't forget National Beanpole Week starts on Saturday - loads of
special events this year, including a beanpole fayre. See

Britain lost around 500,000 acres of its coppice woodland during the
last century - 90% of its coppiced woodland. So you can support our
woodlands, and your beans, by coming along to an event or simply by
buying British coppiced beanpoles this year.


I'm stunned. Who would have thought?

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
