Good evening! Welcoming October, with a look back at #September - opening with resurgent nasturtiums and fuchsias, closing with an explosion of fungi and in the middle a brilliant hike along the Steel Cotton Rail Trail #LateSummerColour

Collage of five collages, featuring photos of nasturtiums, fuchsias, fungi and landscapes on the Steel Cotton Rail Trail (wooded valleys, canals, ancient stone chapels and red brick industrial heritage). Text in bottom right corner reads “September 2026”, against a background of teasle seed heads.

From holidaymakers in trouble to desperate families stranded at sea, the RNLI's mission for over 200 years has remained simple: saving lives. The small minority abusing RNLI heroes don’t represent us, so we need to make our support loud and clear.

Bonfires can harm hedgehogs. Bonfires are often built over several days, giving hedgehogs a chance to shelter unseen among the branches. If you have space, pile branches in a quiet corner instead, & leave them be – this is good for all sorts of wildlife! More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/wil...
