Nature has a way of grounding us.

A moment’s pause in the wild can be a simple act of self-care.

Where do you go to unwind and reconnect? 🍃

Pot of gold!

Rare Roman gold coin hoard uncovered near Didcot, Oxfordshire, by a metal detectorist in 1995. The pot contained 126 gold aurei, struck between AD 54-160. It would have taken a legionary soldier over ten years to earn this large sum!

Pinkie, Green Bean and William are only around three months off reaching maturity and are now approaching their parents' weights - which is 20x more than they weighed when they were born.
