Really cracks me up when someone addresses a letter to me like this, yet it still actually arrives (it's happened a good few times). Fair play to you, An Post!!

Paying farmers to rewild is by far THE most important thing society could do to reverse nature loss. But here in Ireland, it wouldn't involve 'doing nothing'. As someone practising rewilding for almost 16 years, I can tell you it requires very hard work: removing invasives, and much more.

A Financial Times investigative documentary has found evidence that Russian executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war are not isolated incidents but are likely to be part of a broader pattern that points to a systematic policy. Watch the full documentary here: on.ft.com/3Qs7oDW

A day after President Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia, the U.S. leader's description of the Ukrainian President Zelensky as a "Dictator without Elections" echoes the Kremlin's messaging. It's not the first time Trump has done this.

Mission accomplished. This year I wanted to put up my greenhouse & expand my garden a bit to utilize my space better. Today I finished putting my garden to bed for the year, added two beds & removed the cinder blocks along the fence. Plus more trellises using used gates. Great feeling #Gardeningfeed

At 23, Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim created her seminal Objet (Déjeuner en fourrure) 1936, after a joke at a Paris café with Dora Mara and Pablo Picasso. By the end of the year, the cup, saucer, and spoon covered in Chinese gazelle fur was bought by Alfred H. Barr for $50 and on display at MoMA/NY.

The rockery in Chelsea Physic Garden is made of rubble from the Tower of London. Apparently they were doing some building work on it 300 years ago and a passing apothecary asked if they wanted that 40 ton pile.
