One great thing here is I can share my Substack links. They got banned on Twitter as a competitor. It’s where I write my weekly update with good news about the dogs… Big exciting things happening this week… substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can eat over 100 invertebrates every night. #wildlife #gardening #nature

Nice positive story about bumblebee numbers responding to rewilding, sadly illustrated with a picture of a honeybee ;) www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

COP continues to fail us– and our planet . There were 1,700 fossil fuel execs present at #COP29 – larger than any other delegation at the conference . That’s why we’re angry– and it’s why I’m petitioning the Government to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships . Sign at lovera.ge/ban-ffa

No mention of Paddington 3. I was expecting to see memes along the lines of Gladdington and Padiator!

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING 😡 ‘As a guide dog handler of 25 and a half years, I’ve had hundreds of experiences of being refused service - but online threats and increasing hostility towards disabled people mean I’m giving up on asking publicly for equality and respect.’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Outrage as video shows fox caught in 'barbaric' snare trap on King's Sandringham estate “This snare was placed alongside a rare Chalk Stream which is regularly used by otters” Repost if you agree there should be a UK wide ban on these devices!

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝 #SaveTheBees

🚨 Over 1.4 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months. This is 69% higher than the same period 5 years ago. This can't go on and we refuse to stand by while so many of us are pushed to the brink, without enough money to live on.

Ennerdale Water - photo taken last year. One of the least visited, but most beautiful lakes in the Lake District. The sheep wrecked valley is finally being restored to its former biodiverse glory by the folks at Wild Ennerdale. Check them out and give them your support www.wildennerdale.co.uk

Our clover lawn. The bees love it, as does Honey. Although she has a separate non-clover toilet area, as have to be very careful not to contaminate with worm and flea treatments.
