Let us all rejoice that 20 Isreali hostages have finally been released alive by Hamas - after two years of constant bombing -by the Isrealis!

How can I possibly explain to my daughter what she sees on the BBC 6 o'clock news? She is absolutely appalled by what she sees in Gaza and Ukraine day after day and I can't explain to her why these atrocities take place.
I am just left wondering who the real children are?

Hypogymnia physodes

A lichen walk for the Wren Wildlife group in CoL Cemetery on 17th November was blessed with sunny weather. We saw a good selection of lichens on memorials, low branches and ended up with terricolous lichens near Alexandra lake. Just one photo, here is Hypogymnia physodes. @wrenwildlife.bsky.social
