Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men yet has no screening programme.

Early diagnosis saves lives. Targeted screening for all high-risk men should be the starting point for building a screening programme that can ultimately protect all men.

If our petition gets 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate in Parliament.

2 different types of orchid currently growing in our wild meadow at the moment.
I was picking red clover flowers, wild apple mint and crosswort.
I will steep this for 10 mins in hot water and add the honey I get from our local bee keeper.
You cannot get closer to nature than this and the health benefits of fresh air, nature and home made tea is amazing. You certainly can't get this feeling from a pharmacy!
Tomorrow I will be out picking the spring field mushrooms I saw earlier (I know that's what they are from last year).
Did you know in France you take the mushrooms to the pharmacy and they will tell you if they are edible or not so best to be polite!
