Do you think the media could refrain from using the words: severe, critical, chaos, catastrophic, shutdown, meltdown, standstill, heatwave, blizzard, subzero, arctic conditions or since records began?
Thank you.
The only panic I need is waking up to find it’s Monday morning!

I found a lovely quiet spot in the local graveyard to sit and contemplate.
It’s always nice to escape for a short while with one’s own thoughts.

So what will 2026 hold for you?

They were obviously heading somewhere?

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula): The "Robin Redbreast" was given its nickname long before a distinction was made in the English language between "Red" & "Orange". Superb photo taken by Martina Olivia of this fluffy Robin taken in the UK.

A few months ago, a small group from the Rewilding Network headed to Cefn Garthenor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This was our first Network visit to Wales and it couldn’t have been more exciting. The group got the chance to explore the beaver enclosure at Cefn, which is one of the first in Wales.
