Martin’s Blog
MONDAY DECEMBER 18
Wintertide, as you know, is a time for giving. This year we are going to give back to the future by sowing our DNA in our children’s children.
How? I myself am doing this in two ways. First I have signed up to the StopGlobalWarning virtual march along with my friends Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and Leonardo Di Caprio. We will be virtually marching the globe demanding that something is done to make our agenda actionable. Check me out on the sgw website!
Second up, I have launched a scheme called One Million Trees, One Million Dreams. As I have personally commissioned the first hundred trees to be planted, each will have a unique dream of mine carved into the bark. As the tree grows the dreams will grow too! The cost is £150 per tree so get planting – and dreaming!
Have a joyous Wintertide, and keep it Green!
Martin

Hi Dexter – Thanks for your message. This is a highly serious project so I don’t appreciate your “flippant” remark. FYI carving on the trunks of the young trees will be done in a way that does not negatively impact on the tree’s wellness. However if you don’t have a dream to share, your trunk can be blank! Martin

I’m very sorry to hear that your father is poorly. Of course you must fly home. When my father died I was by his bedside 24/7, and it meant a lot to him. Obviously I’m not saying that your father is going to die – I hope he continues to strive and thrive going forward!!!

Peachie – thanks for the organic T-shirt, will wear it tonight... Is the lion meant to be me? I like the “respect my spirit” slogan, though I think you’d better respect me discreetly at the party. We need to be careful...

SUBJECT: Emergency
Hi Fiona, I know Asbos aren’t your usual line of business but I have been threatened with one by the Environmental Agency following flytipping of some a-b glöbâl chairs. Turns out that the company we employed, Dump4Less, disposed of them in a field, and apparently the person to blame is my good self for not checking them out. This is completely absurd. Can you send someone to Canning Town police station soonest??

SUBJECT: Crimble
Jake – Am disappointed that you and Jade are off to Mauritius for xmas instead of coming to me. Though it’s your call, it’s pretty selfish, especially given what a crap time I’m having. Currently am at the police station (don’t ask) rather than being at our Christmas party. My one key learning this year: the more you try to do the right thing the less anyone thanks you. Happy crimble, Dad
