Get behind Sherwood - the People's Project!



Want to spread the word about Sherwood Forest's bid for £50million in a winner-takes-all TV competititon called The BIG Lottery People's £50m contest. The plan for Sherwood Forest - the most famous forest in the world, after all - will safeguard one of the most important but fragile wildlife habitats in Europe, provide environmentally friendly yet state of the art visitor facilities, create an unrivalled 250km network of surfaced, mainly traffic-free and stile-free paths through stunning countryside - which means a safe and welcoming route through the countryside for everyone - walkers, riders, dog walkers, families, wheelchairs, buggies - and double buggies - and visitor facilities and landscape attractions that do the same. This project offers three magical ingredients - Robin Hood (the legend that made it the envy of the world), FREE access (apart from car parking, which is peanuts), and the fact that nearly 30 million people can get there easily in around 2 hours or less. That makes this somewhere nearly half the population can enjoy on a single day out - and we ALL have a stake in "owning" it!!! Hope you're convinced. If you are you can vote from Monday at www.thepeoples50million.org.uk or text Robin to 81025 and you'll get a text telling you how to vote by phone. You can see the plans and register your support at www.robinhood.co.uk where there are some fab prizes to win - no strings attached! Do it today - you know it makes sense and your kids will thank you in the decades to come!!!

era of a new dawn

First frost reared its sparkly little head on the park this morning. Starting the countdown to next summer - dreading the dark nights, the cold, the rain and the enforced curfews! Have been out and bought an exercise bike in the vain hope I can be active despite the winter. Need a cracking incentive to keep it up - bored silly after just three half-hour goes! Never mind, this time in april I'll be svelte, sophisticated and no longer single..... I hope!
