Dubbed "Clarkson's Clause" after Jeremy Clarkson's challenges with his Diddly Squat Farm, these changes aim to financially benefit farmers by diversifying land use. The Conservative government claims this will boost rural housing development, though there are criticisms about the exclusions of Class Q reforms from protected areas.Building More Homes: A Balanced Approach for the FutureThe housing crisis in the UK has worsened, with soaring house prices and rental costs. In response, the Labour government announced measures to ease planning laws and develop the green belt. However, the crisis is rooted in policies like the "right to buy" scheme and developers' land-banking. Solutions proposed include building millions of social homes, regulating rents, and empowering councils to enforce planning standards and develop affordable housing.Damp Homes Affecting Families: A Growing ConcernBBC analysis revealed a near doubling of private renters with children living in damp homes since the pandemic. Poor housing conditions are leading to acute and chronic health issues among children. The government plans to introduce the Renters' Rights Bill, aiming to abolish Section 21 "no-fault" evictions and enforce better living standards through Awaab's Law. While landlords acknowledge sector challenges, charities call for more affordable housing and stronger tenant protections.King's Speech Highlights Housing and Planning ReformsKing Charles III's recent speech introduced over 40 new Bills, emphasizing housing and planning reforms. Key proposals include eliminating "no-fault" evictions, setting minimum property standards, and creating a new PRS Ombudsman for dispute resolution. The government also aims to prioritize brownfield development and cautiously utilize some green belt areas for housing, ensuring community involvement in planning decisions.Fowey's Housing Crisis: The Impact of Second HomesFowey, a scenic town in Cornwall, faces a housing crisis as second-home buyers drive up property prices, leaving locals priced out. A 2020 referendum banned the sale of new houses as second homes to preserve community integrity. Despite these measures, local residents struggle with high property costs and limited rental options, underscoring the need for affordable housing solutions in popular rural areas.These stories collectively highlight the complexities and diverse approaches required to address the UK's housing challenges, from rural development and tenant protections to the impact of second homes on local communities.Maximize your property wealth with London Property.

Hija de un actor y una actriz, Daphne du Maurier (Londres, 1907 – Fowey, 1989) creció en un ambiente cultural muy activo. En 1936 publicó la novela ·La posada de Jamaica· que fue llevada al cine por Alfred Hitchcock en 1939. Un año antes, en 1938, la escritora había alcanzado gran reconocimiento por la novela Rebeca, de la que en 1940 Hitchcock estrenó la versión cinematográfica con gran éxito, obtuvo el Oscar a Mejor Película. En 1952 publicó un volumen de cuentos que incluía el relato Los pájaros, que el director británico adaptó en 1963. La historia de Los pájaros surge de uno de los relatos de un libro de la escritora inglesa Daphne du Maurier. Al principio, Alfred Hitchcock quiso adaptar esta historia para una de sus entregas de la serie de televisión Alfred Hitchcock Presenta, pero vio el potencial y decidió convertirla en un largometraje. El guion fue de Evan Hunter. Te invito a revivir o conocer el suspense maestro de Los pájaros. A ese momento en que las aves empiezan a atacar a las personas sin motivo aparente y que esta historia no solo no resuelve, sino que deja su final abierto, como si solo fuera el comienzo del fin, y el inicio del dominio de los pájaros sobre los humanos.

The Doll by Daphne du MaurierDame Daphne du Maurier, Lady Browning was born in 1907 in London in 1931 and died in 1989 in Cornwall. She is a famous novelist with such best-sellers as Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek, The Birds and the novella Don't Look Now. This story is taken from a collection of short stories written before her famous novels. She was clearly fond of the name Rebecca for the dark-spirited anima-like femme fatale.I did a recording of Don't Look Now, which has proved to be my most popular recording on Youtube.(If You Appreciate The Work I've Put In Here - You could buy me a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/tonywalker or join as a Patron for exclusive content here: https://www.patreon.com/barcud)Her father was an actor and theatre manager who was knighted for her services to the arts.  Her mother Muriel Beaumont was also an actress.   Daphne's sister Angela was also an author and an actress and her other sister Jeanne who was part of the painter colony in St Ives Cornwall.  Daphne and her sister Jeanne look very like their mother in the photographs on the internet.  Their cousins were the inspiration for the children in J M Barrie's Peter Pan.  Her great-great-grandmother was mistress of Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany. She was born when the family were living in a rather grand house on Cumberland Terrace on the eastern side of Regent's Park in a house that is now a grade I listed building designed by the famous architect John Nash. Her father's success made this possible. She was born in a house Daphne du Maurier became more reclusive as she got more famous and spent her time n her beloved Cornwall. As she grew, the family had two houses — one in Hampstead, north London ( a grade II listed building from 1720) and a house in Fowey, Cornwall, where they lived exclusively during the Second World War.  She got married to a prominent soldier and had three children, of whom both girls married prominent soldiers. The Wiki notes that her marriage was somewhat chilly and she herself could be distant from her children. Her husband died in 1965, when she was 34.  She moved permanently to Kilmarth, Cornwall. She was made a dame (equivalent of a knight) in 1969 but was very reticent about mentioning it and never made much of it. After she died in 1989, biographers discussed whether she was a lesbian. Her sister Jeanne had a close relationship with another woman. She notes that her father always wanted a son and so she was a tomboy. Her children denied that she was a lesbian. When she died of heart failure aged 81, her body was privately cremated.  In her obituary, Kate Kellaway said: “Du Maurier was mistress of calculated irresolution. She did not want to put her readers' minds at rest. She wanted her riddles to persist. She wanted the novels to continue to haunt us beyond their endings.”The DollThis story was published in 1937, that is two years after the death of her husband, and one year before the publication of Rebecca.   Apparently she was only 21 when she wrote The Doll. And you can join my mailing list and get a  free audiobook: https://bit.ly/dalstonvampireMusic By The Heartwood Institutehttps://bit.ly/somecomeback***The Jordan Harbinger ShowApple Best of 2018-Learn the stories, secrets & skills of the world's most fascinating pplListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Walking along a cliff path lined with crickets the sea appears, steep down to the right. There's no one around. There's time to listen. There's a dot on the horizon, a boat. Hardly moving. At 6m30s we move to a different location - down a flinty path and over deep sand to the water's edge. The water fizzes. Is the tide coming in, or out? At 13m45s, back up on the cliff path, warm grassy wafts and around the headland to another bay. At 19m06s, looking down from above the sea sounds different in this bay. A pontoon out in the swell occasionally rocks against its mooring. Finally at 24m55s, at the shoreline to sit and be close to the waves. The tide's feeling lazy. It is going out.

Daphne Du Maurier lived and worked in Cornwall and the area surrounding Fowey features in many of her novels. Today the town is home to the annual Daphne Du Maurier festival and this year is it's 10th anniversary. Clare Balding discovers how the area inspired many features of Du Mauriers work and meets local experts including Du Maurier's son.

In Acts 3.19 Peter preached “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out”. We must understand what this means.

Conversion, what is it and why is it necessary? "Except ye be converted" Jesus said it, so we must understand what He meant.

We then read a section of her book, Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland about May Day festivities and beliefs.   Memorial to Lady Wilde and her husband located in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin   The Hills They Are Hollow by Damh the Bard Perhaps one of our all-time favourite tracks based in Celtic Mythology by Damh the Bard. Damh is a modern-day Bard whose spirituality, and love of folk tradition, is expressed through his music, storytelling and poetry. Drawing on the Bardic traditions his performances are both entertaining and educational, weaving a tapestry of myth, peace, and anthems that speak directly to the heart, but never without a good splash of humour. Damh is a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth that cannot be proved; where the Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms of Annwn. Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood. You can find his music on iTunes, Woven Wheat Whispers or from his website, Pagan Music. He is also the voice behind Druidcast, the official podcast of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD, for short) - modern day Druids. You can find Druidcast here and find out more about OBOD here. You can find out more details about Damh on his Contributor Page on our website.   Castledore, 23 AD by Simon Mitchell from "Secrets of the Valley 1: The Lily" We start with a short biography of Simon Mitchell, whom we know as Simon the Scribe, a regular contributor to our website. We introduce to his ecologically based work and to Secrets of the Valley book 1: The Lily. We then read Chapter 2 to you to introduce you to the story. We'd like to give Simon special thanks for his permission to bring you this story and, if you enjoyed it, urge you to read his book. Secrets of the Valley, a Cornish trilogy. An ancient matrix of energy lies hidden in the earth, its existence and purpose all but forgotten. One strand, named 'The Dragon Line' passes through Cornwall, a land steeped in history and mystery since the dawn of time. Here the line passes through the valley of the River Fowey. A lone ghost, abandoned in the valley of his birth, tells how the line of energy has been usurped, unbalancing the whole planetary energy matrix. In 'The Lily', the first novel of this extraordinary trilogy, we share his lives as he tells his tale of 2000 years in the Fowey valley. He sets a crucial task, to mend the Dragon Line and restore the balance of power, before time itself runs out. About the author - Simon Mitchell is part of the 'green wave' working in Cornwall UK. " I find an authentic and meaningful life by researching, writing and publishing my own, and other people's media, on the themes of sustainable living, nature and ecology.

Name a musical act after one of the great warriors of Irish legend, and you’d better be prepared to crank out some energetic, larger-than-life performances. That’s precisely why Culann’s Hounds has been a favorite on the San Francisco scene for six years—and is now bringing their self-described punk-Irish-hoedown sensibility to a larger audience. The melodies of Steve Gardner (fiddle) and Renee de la Prade (button accordion); harmonies of Mike Kelleher (guitar); and rhythm of Scott Marshall’s bodhran meld with rich vocals that are a staple of the Irish tradition. Their main home on the web is http://www.sfhounds.com/ but you can also find them on Myspace, where you can hear more music, see a video and find out their tour dates. You hear more of their music here and buy their albums on CD Baby. You can find out more details about the Hounds on her Contributor Page on our website.   May Day Superstitions by Lady Francesca Wilde The young Lady Wilde We finish off with another piece by Lady Francesca Wilde about some of the superstitions observed over time in Ireland.
