Hugh Simpson
This poem, from a book of Poems, "Farther Fields" by the late Hugh Simpson of Newlands Farm, West Lulworth, Dorset, tells a poignant story that seems particularly appropriate. I include it here as a tribute to all those who took part in what is now often referred to as 'The Longest Day'. Hugh was the father of a good friend of mine, Bob, G3SLG. I will never forget the happy hours spent in and around Newlands Farm in my early teens 'playing' with Wireless.

The downland specifications include no fertilizers or widespread use of pesticides, and look to mixed grazing by cattle and sheep to achieve a bio-
I believe that you do not have to be Organic to encourage biodiversity, and have proved that carefully targeted measures can be of great benefit to wildlife.
