Screenshot of a post on X by The Daily Record stating Scots lawyer murdered by husband for “failing to lose weight” after giving birth.

Beth @f33lthesun.bsky.social · 12d

You definitely should.
Where the Forest Meets the Sea is an old but gold. I used it a lot in the classroom over the years.

Beach walk.

A white Jack Russell standing on the sandy rocks, looking out over rock pools and a very calm blue sea. Sky is blue and cloudless.

Blue sky, calm blue sea, rocks and rock pools, with a grey heron, a curlew and a gull.

A grey heron on seaweed, in the sea, with a fish in its beak.

A grey heron, up to the top of its legs in a calm blue sea, with an open beak, fish caught in it.

A treat for you @everyheron.bsky.social

A blue sea, waves in the distance, calm near the rocks. A grey heron stands in a calm pool of sea.
