Ending wildfowling licensing in Braunton enables us to honour the traditions of North Devon while conserving the future of our biosphere. We wish to ensure that Braunton remains a beacon of biodiversity and a source of pride for future generations. #northdevon #braunton #devon

Asbestos dumping (again) 😡. Braunton.

I'm furious 😡😡😡. Now reported to Environmental Services at North Devon District Council 🏞️. Someone's lazyness and greed is now going to cost the entire community in disposal fees. Money we could be spending on homelessness. #northdevon #braunton

There's a reverence that nurses have for every of unit of blood we give. This isn't a drug made in a factory, this is a gift from one stranger to another. Every donation saves lives.

(full disclosure, sometimes vampires pinch them)
Great to learn more about not just blood donation but also plasma. The impact such donations has on those who need blood or plasma is lifechanging.
The NHS needs 3 donations a minute 🩸if you can give - please do. It saves lives & gives people their health back

It is a scandal that corridor care is becoming normalised with thousands of patients left on trolleys for hours or even days on end.

We are seeing shocking and dangerous long waits in hospital corridors, putting patient lives at risk and leaving staff struggling to cope.

The sheer insanity that we have a senior American official openly working to overthrown the elected UK government while utterly destabilising a major UK political party (admittedly, one of the really s#it parties). Musk is acting like a toddler smashing toy dinosaurs together.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Tens of millions of pounds wasted on overtaking lanes that are too short to actually use. A bridge to nowhere that pretends to be a castle and two half-hearted roundabouts. DCC councillors shouldn't be cutting ribbons and quaffing vol-au-vents, they should be issuing apologies. #northdevon

Life feels tough. Today I'm remembering that yes, I sometimes have to eat my dinner off of a bin, but at least I don't have to eat dinner out of a bin #nursestories #northdevon

The government needs to recoginise the difference between tax dodging billionaires and hard working multi-generational farming families.
"We are going to fight for our rural communities. We're gonna fight for farmers, we're gonna fight to stop this family farm tax.

"I have just one ask of you. I want you to continue to do what you are the best in the world at doing: producing high quality food for our country."

Huge thanks to Father Christmas for taking time out of his hectic schedule to christmasify (yes, that's a word) the Braunton Parish Christmas tree 🎄
(thanks also to the elves on loan from Bluewave for their incredible work)

Trying to teach an AI to create dot-to-dot pictures. So far, managed triangles and stars. This is supposedly an Italian flag.
