Artemis 2 space capsule splashes down in the Shropshire Union Canal! They were lucky to miss the trees. All crew are reported safe. Rescue narrowboats have been dispatched and will be there in an hour or two! 😉 #UKCanals #narrowboat #canal #artemis #nasa

Maybe another way to keep birds safe would be to try to reduce the number of cats that predate birds.

First visit to the Gilfach Nature Reserve and hopefully not the last. Looks like an ideal location to see Dippers.

Stop tainted timber destroying forests, homes and wildlife Take action Our investigation has uncovered a disturbing truth: “sustainable” timber from Malaysia can’t be trusted. Certification schemes are failing, so timber linked to forest destruction, wildlife...

“Sustainable” timber isn’t always safe. Forests are being destroyed, Indigenous communities displaced and critically endangered species like the Malayan tiger are under threat. Demand the UK government takes action @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto...

If only we could have this in a digital format. It would save a lot and be easier to keep on file.

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that the parents have disappeared.”

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Wes Streeting's latest plans have leaked. The NHS will still be free but your doctor will pause the treatment every 90 seconds to do ad reads for SquareSpace and HelloFresh.
