If it's your bookshop you could just change opening hours to suit you?

Wildfires & drought combined with massive decline in insects numbers at a guess. (Plus of course they still love catching/hunting so many species over that way).

Safe to say our lemon tree has enjoyed the hot summer even if I didn't!

Reform lost all 6 council by-elections yesterday. Just in case you needed cheering up like.

Loads of small coppers, ground nesting bees, crane flies etc in the meadow today, good to see. #Suffolk

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing it too.

The ground under one of our oak trees is full of enormous blue staining boletes, they are properly heavy!

This fungi quickly stains blue as you bruise or tear it

My admin just got an email from one of my singers where the entire body of text was in the subject line, and it said Dear R please can you send emails to my inbox and not my junk folder, many thanks S. A lot of people are getting very left behind in the digital world ☹️

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

I hadn't thought of it but you're probably right, depressing.

Heard this on the World Service at lunchtime, absolutely fascinating interview of a delightful Sierra Leonian woman who grew up in the civil war, and a fascination with Chinese Opera led to an incredible life of bonkers talents. Really worth a listen! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Toadflax arrived in our meadow by itself, always super happy to find a new native species has appeared. It's like a teeny two fingers up to all those destroying nature elsewhere. It is covered in bees and shield bugs. #WildflowerHour

Flower head, bright deeper yellow and paler yellow petals with a brown shield bugs crawling across, it has dashing stripey antenna.

Our chickens were always getting in and being shooed out but the biggest mess was when our goat Poppy wandered in and started testing everything she could for edibility!

Wasp spider in the meadow! V cool and very fast and aggressive! I love how they weave a big near invisible web but deliberately create a more solid white zig zag up the middle of it.

4 months in to our Suffolk Reform run council and they are already have to call a by-election, turns out to be harder work than they thought running a council & some of them aren't really up for it after all. I really hope it was the endless complaints about bins that did them in 😆

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I'm sorry that sounds extremely unfair, my daughter has chosen not to find her birth mother but she at least would be allowed to here in the UK! Hope your birthday was lovely anyway.

Dolly. What a legend. Gutted. Someone who used her wealth to make real positive difference wherever she could. She'll leave a massive legacy. Watch & learn billionaires/Trillionaires, watch & learn.

The small Tivat ex-pat community that Cottrell is part of definitely has Russian connections because my dodgy brother & his Russian wife & in-laws are part of it too!

Oh man this is making me sad, yet another mole has died due to the drought & rock hard ground. This one made it to one of the sumps in the groundwater fed wildlife pond, but there's been no water there for a month now. Small lives being lost everywhere ☹️

Ok its apparently real & just this once I’m going to say that a plane journey was legitimately worth it 😆

What a spiteful load of nonsense. The shooting fraternity really have their claws in to folk who are managing land for nature & biodiversity rather than profit & killing. Reminder that the biggest ever wildfire in Scotland was on a highly managed grouse moor in Darva. #rewilding

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

The saplings we got from the Woodland Trust were probably the tiniest & most feeble of all the suppliers we tried and we lost hundreds in the drought of 2022. Some of the survivors are doing OK with no watering though, maybe drought hardened by that baptism of fire!

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Yeah heard about this last week on the Breaking Down Collapse podcast. Absolutely grim.

Yes interesting book, have only dipped into it a bit so far.

I mean given the whole fierce Libertarian & prepper cultures there you know it's going to happen.

Quite tempted to put in a trench across what must be an old ditch line, Time team style. The only green grass around..

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

No, it's a heath. And not somewhere pyromaniac teenagers would be hanging out. In current conditions the hot underside of a vehicle sitting on dried grass can start a fire here, as can a cigarette butt, a discarded glass bottle focussing sunlight. In normal conditions you'd just stamp it out.

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

A lot of people keen to blame deliberate arson for wildfires forget just how stupid a lot of people are. As if firefighters needed any other work a local moron decided to have a bonfire last night which set his grass alight spreading out of control to his garden fast 🙄 #wildfire

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

And I have a flint striker for starting fires, it's not difficult, you just need very dry small material to carry the spark. A BBQ doesn't sound like the ideal starter material!

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

We have a lot of flint in our soil, it sparks when struck by farm machinery & in our current conditions starts a fire in wheat chaff/dried crops VERY easily. Farmers are having to follow combines with water bowsers but they aren't always enough to stop the fire.

Kirsty @rabblechorus.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Actually stupidity is the most likely cause, with climate change giving it the fuel to spread out of control. We also had a crew out to a local moron who decided to have a garden bonfire, which immediately set his grass and then garden alight. Flint strikes are our other main cause here.

Oh no, Dunwich Heath wildlife reserve is on fire, right next to Minsmere bird reserve too. 14 crews out & people evacuated. This is horrendous. Views from Sizewell & Eels Foot #Suffolk #Wildfire

But we wouldn't be able to lock our tandem or my cargo bike with trailer there unless all along it at 90% stopping anyone else from locking up. It's incredibly frustrating trying to find spaces to lock either.
