Headstretcher: Headlands to headspace
http://headstretcher.blogspot.com/2011/08/headlands-to-headspace.html
Monday, 1 August 2011. Earlier this year we (Creative Concern) were lucky enough to work with the Morecambe Bay Partnership. And our good friend and collaborator James Rebanks. On the Partnership's Heritage Lottery Fund bid 'Headlands to Headspace'. Today it's been officially announced that they've won the bid and have been allocated £2 million through the Landscape Partnership. Would be a good idea. Humphrey Head by Jon Sparks. Finally, the Headlands to Headspace project wouldn't have come off unless it...

Headstretcher: fab // graphene
http://headstretcher.blogspot.com/2011/10/fab-graphene.html
Monday, 3 October 2011. Am more than a little obsessed about the opportunities offered by graphene and Manchester's very own Nobel prize laureates. Now it looks like they may be the anchor of a global R&D hub which I suspect will also be dead important for Manchester's low carbon stuff. Anyway here's the story:. 163;50m boost for University of Manchester's Nobel prize-winning work on 'wonder material' graphene Manchester Evening News - menmedia.co.uk.

Jacquetta Menzies Garden Design: October 2010
http://jacquettamenzies.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 October 2010. I made a return visit to plant some bulbs, but was thwarted by the frost. It made the planting look good though, the leaves of the Phlomis russeliana particularly. The woodland meadow is planted with Persicaria ampolexicaulis 'Firetail' Geranium psilostemon and Melica uniflora, with Narcissus poeticus recurvus. Monday, 18 October 2010. Tuesday, 12 October 2010.

http://headstretcher.blogspot.com/2011/07/vertical-farming-in-manchester.html

We officially unveiled the 'Alpha Farm' project which will seek to transform a disused office block in Wythenshawe into a fully-functioning vertical farm.

Headstretcher: April 2013
http://headstretcher.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 April 2013. A few years back my company was accused by a deeply misguided business journalist as not operating in the 'real economy'. Our focus on social goals, environmental issues and arts and culture clearly got him riled. He saw the impending age of austerity and public sector cuts as a signal that an agency like ours would be certain to fail. So it's time to establish more clearly the new communications. There’s gossip, chatter with friends or colleagues and keeping up with family ...

Headstretcher: Solar spill

Thursday, 21 June 2012. Love this - Pattison Outdoor has denied Greenpeace Canada the space on one of its billboards in downtown Edmonton – and handed them a stonking PR opportunity.
