Good news! Possibly the first, this year!! 😃
Success – an important win for nature! 🐝

Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.

This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.
Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.

Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.

DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.

Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.

2024 has been tough—maybe harder than most of us anticipated. If you're struggling, please know your feelings are valid. The challenges you've faced don't make you weak; they show your strength. Carry the lessons forward, leave the pain, & keep doing the best you can. That's always more than enough.

Look at this face!
Doesn't the expression suggest that things are actually going pretty well??

At my (late) lovely OtherMother's house today, starting the long slog towards probate, but there are still flowers in the garden 🥹

The story behind my cover pic: a group of our friends set a firework off on the beach, on Sunday. It contained the ashes of two dear (married) friends of ours, whose greatest wish was to be among the stars, after they died. (I know that fireworks divide opinion, but this was not loud.)

Looking for friends 🧐😃👋
Following my favourite singer, favourite Formula 1 driver, one of my favourite authors, a couple of mates & a bloke who is nothing but inspirational: it's all a bit random, but it's a start...
Haven't seen any ranting OR bleating yet! It's so peaceful 😌
