Yep! It was so encouraging to see! 😀 I'd have loved to see an actual vole of course, but seeing their little homes and runways was really interesting. 🥰

Sending big hugs. It's so hard to lose one of the brightest of lights - but with JG, her light is like the candles at Greek Easter, that one light passing illumination to everyone who touches it and passes it on. A light like that doesn't go out, you know? 🕯️💚

Beautifully put, James. They're super, and I would love to learn more about them. There was an extraordinary diversity of them on Sark, including very colourful ones. And GIANT ones, that were mind-bogglingly huge. Always will go out of my way to return one to the outdoors.

Yaaaaay! Soon! 😀

Fab bit of #GoodGreenNews - thanks for this, David.

It's deeply ironic, really, that this comes as the government here strives ever harder to hand the hard-fought-for creative work of folk in the UK arts industry to the tech-vampires.
