Valley Creations reflects the varied interests Steve Scott and Ruth Love. We have have spent our lives trying to make things better for all by making small changes to the way that we all do things and thinking about interests outside ourselves. We both volunteer in in the community and try to minimise our negative impacts on the world. The garden and all the other things on this website represent this.
Like all animals we humans are selfish but we are also able to hugely multiply our impacts. We can and should discuss what we do to make decisions that minimise our bullying and negative effects on other people and all the things we share existence with.
Here is some information from the UK Met Office showing some of those impacts.

- The Dry
August 2026 and it is dry. Not as dry as the Australian novel of the above title of course. Thankfully we store most of the water of the house and outbuildings and even the grey water from upstairs sinks, bath etc. With careful watering of the newer and more tender plants the garden is surviving. I throw washing up water on the lawn.
As it is a little cooler today I’ve been out and around the garden sorting out things like a down pipe off the platform roof down the hill, which had got blocked by nest building in the absence of water in the gutter.
Here are some pause points on the walk round.
