How does your garden grow? With first peony in its gorgeous glory, alliums and my favourite fruit plants being wonderfully abundant this year! Oriental poppies though are not as spectacular, owing to really early warm weather, so bloomed early but stunted in stature.

Spring time! Sometimes we forget how individual each animals are, there was a group of squirrels, I had one that put his paw on my knee when I was sitting down, another just really shy. It's nice to animal watch, we had our first spring picnic on Tues, nice to be out and I always love the green.

Snowdrops are go this month! I have seen some mega big ones, just shows how little I know about the varieties! They are really a cute late winter /early spring flower to welcome after dark days of winter. But hello! I am hoping Pink Sky will be better than IG. Let's keep it Meta free or X free? 😅😆

An expert team led by one of our researchers has shown that an AI test can analyse important immune cells in bowel tumours and identify the people who most need chemotherapy as a secondary shield to stop their cancer coming back 🛡️

"Blackpool North beach was rated as having “Poor” water quality in 2023, based on weekly Environment Agency samples taken between May and September.

The nearby Blackpool South and Blackpool Central beaches were rated “Sufficient” – the second lowest of the four grades."

What happened here? 😥
Official – keep out of the sea at Blackpool
Blackpool Beach is a firm favourite with holidaymakers. But with a brown flag and the advise not to swim, what happened to it?

Er what? Trump just gives the spiel, he doesn't have success apart from getting ppl to hate groups that he hates. And the only way to excite businessman like yourself, is pay no taxes and small outlay.
"So Rachel Reeves needs to be a bit more Donald Trump?"

Steve Hare, CEO of Sage - one of the UK's biggest tech firms - thinks the Chancellor should speak about British business in a more excited and optimistic way.

"The UK stands to be affected greatly from the new Trump presidency. Trump’s threats to the UK economy and his ally Elon Musk’s interference in UK politics are two big pillars of this."
Making America a joke again?
Is Donald Trump’s second term a bad joke or does it yield frightening times ahead?

New research published today by the OECD:

💷 #Cancer adds £14.4bn to annual UK #health expenditure - even accounting for other health costs those who don't get cancer go on to require

📈Without action, per capita costs could increase by >50% by 2050

Hi everyone 👋

Bluesky is growing so rapidly – so we want to share some key information about cancer, for anyone here who might need it.

Nearly 1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer – so if this thread might be of use to anyone you know, please pass it on to them.

Just last week, it looked like this outside with the arctic blast. Then yesterday on Sunday, it warmed up really quickly, today there's a bite in the air again. Welcome to UK winter.

Sorry for quiet time on blue sky! I forgot to sign in after I moved phones and well, one month than another. I am back now though. 😂

Yup, then read the misconduct of that BP director that forfeited approximately £34 million bonus. This is crazy how private corporates are squeezing normal ppl dry and make obscene profits that stays on top. Drop down economy fallacy.
