Ivy is a fantastic late flowering plant for pollinators. If you look closely you might be lucky to spot an Ivy Bee! Ivy Bees are common in continental Europe, but they have only fairly recently made the hop across the channel to the UK.

Fatal and serious injury collisions rose 27% in the West Midlands compared to this time last year. Fatals alone have risen 36%. The top 3 road safety factors are ineffective observations, exceeding speed limit & aggressive dangerous driving. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social hits the nail on the head.

Today I’ve been learning where our household food waste goes and how it is processed at the Severn Trent Green Power plant in Coleshill. As well as producing energy which feeds the National Grid and nearby business park it also produces fertiliser which is pure enough to be sold commercially.
