Some positive nature news for February's #RewildingRoundup!
🐮Cattle have been released in South-West London as part of a large-scale urban rewilding project by @citizenzoo.bsky.social, Kingston council and @communitybrain.bsky.social, championing climate resilience and urban nature access.
🧵👇
We've improved crossings & access through this busy roundabout. At the same time creating London's largest sustainable drainage system. After weeks of constant rain, there wasn't a puddle insight.
Great combination of safety, biodiversity, climate mitigation, heritage & community 💚
Was wonderful to join the local community, councillors,
@tfl team to unveil the new David Bowie mural in centre of our Tolworth Roundabout safety scheme.
Bowie performed the 1st Ziggy Stardust gig at a pub nearby (as did Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Yard Birds etc).
We are delighted to say that 54 years since his first performance as Ziggy Stardust at the Toby Jug pub on the opening night of his ground breaking tour David Bowie is back in Tolworth. A new mural on Tolworth Roundabout will be officially revealed today

Today started with sadness after finding out last night that where we store our props and equipment had been broken into and our sound gear for our Festivals, alongside other valuable things, had been stolen. We will of course recover but it is a little bruising and depressing today

On this day in 1972 David Bowie first introduced Ziggy Stardust to the world at the Toby Jug Pub in Tolworth. To celebrate the 50th anniversary The Community Brain organised a silent disco at Waterloo, a special train with entertainment to Tolworth & a gig & major mural #Bowie #bowieforever
A great session briefing Kingston School of Art Interior Design students about @communitybrain.bsky.social ‘s Celebrating 60 Years of Award Winning Fashion project. Exciting things to come
Well friends. Li’lMe2 would like some help. What are your favourite popular and obscure films with a 'Fashion' theme - Obviously he knows The Devil Wears Prada but what others are there that are worth celebrating/seeing? @communitybrain.bsky.social
One year ago we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Surbiton designed Mini Cooper winning the Monte Carlo Rally for first time on the concourse of Waterloo Station. It launched a year of Mini Moments to mark this remarkable story youtu.be/QGGWby9x5DI #MiniMoments
