Sometimes I think I am a twelve year old boy trapped inside a twenty year old girl. I was stoked on the world today after coming home with mud and blisters all over me and a aching back after four hours pulling out weeds by the river for a conservation project in my home town. Beaming. Happier than I have been in ages.
I also spent the morning at the amazing Ian Bailey and Annie Gerogsion’s house learning about their new ecologically sound estate. They are doing edible landscaping. YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO EAT OFF ALL OF THE TREES AS YOU WALK AROUND THE ESTATE. I know, right?
I LOVE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE! I don’t understand people that don’t like enviro… If you hate enviro you hate the world? Beyond me.

On Friday we were outside, Alina and I, walking in the garden and Alina smiled up at me from the pram and I picked her up and cuddled her. It was near the palms and there was a warm breeze and she was so happy, and so was I. I will always cherish that moment.
