I see that I started being a Blackwell’s affiliate in March 2017 – about 18 months ago. If you buy books from Blackwell’s using the links in my posts (mostly in book reviews) then I’ll get a small cut of what you spend. That’ll obviously be nice for me and it may allow you to avoid spending your money with Amazon and thereby adding to the income of the Church Commissioners.
I was prompted to look up the time I started this as I’ve just had my first payment – of £30.61. Not a life-changing sum, but very welcome all the same. And the product of very little work on my part.
Thank you to all who have used the link so far, and here it is if you want to give it a try.
If it goes on like this then after another four years I will have recouped my £100 donation to Chris Packham’s Walk for Wildlife. Chris’s crowdfunder isn’t zooming along at the moment so it looks like he will be digging deep in his own pocket to fund this event. Help out if you can please.

Mark, thanks for the mention of crowdfunding appeal for the walk – I wasn’t aware of it before you mentioned it – made a donation now.
Nb. One of the reasons why crowdfunding appeals don’t always reach their target is lack of promotion. Chris Packham has a high media profile, so this should not be a problem, but let’s hope that all the wildlife NGOs are pulling together and promoting this appeal. I’m sure they are, aren’t they?
Pete – I think it is worth saying that the wildlife NGOs, as a whole, have been pretty good about promoting the walk and in praising the manifesto. They haven’t been involved in the planning of either so we all wondered how they would react. That have been supportive. I haven’t seen them asking their members to give Chris their dish but that isn’t a total surprise.
