Adopting a horse is great way to help equine charities. I along with some colleagues have adopted Lady ❤️🥰
It's #NationalHatDay ! Our hats are essential for keeping our teams safe whilst working with our rescued residents, but they also make great resting posts too, or at least Adoption Star Lady thinks so! #MidWeekPickMeUp #RedwingsOxhill

En un instant, aquella persona amb qui vas compartir un tros del viatge, marxa, però ja t'ha tocat el cor per sempre més. ❤️ "Escullo creure q hi ha bondat en les persones i que tot és una lliçó. Estem a la terra per aprofundir i tornar-nos més savis." #GlenHansard. Me too.

GOOD POINT👇👇👇 To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. • I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ......All of us People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

🇬🇧 Aldi Supermarkets don’t sell Halal meat. We don’t sell any certified Halal meat and our policy is that all animals used in the production of Aldi’s own label meat and poultry must be pre-stunned before slaughter. 🇬🇧 Well done Aldi 👍🏻 I like Aldi 👍🏻

British sheep produce 70,000 tonnes of wool annually. Used for carpets, insulation, textiles, and traditional products. The environmental alternative is petroleum-based synthetic fiber. Which is plastic. Made from oil. Non-biodegradable. Sheds microplastics in washing. Ends up in oceans. But sheep are unsustainable and we should use more plastic instead. The mental gymnastics required to call wool environmentally harmful while promoting polyester is Olympic-level. Wool is renewable. Grows annually. Biodegradable. Carbon-neutral. Traditional craft. Insulates better than synthetics. Flame-resistant naturally. Lasts decades if cared for properly. Polyester is fossil fuel. Requires industrial processing. Never biodegrades. Sheds microplastics. Inferior insulation. Needs chemical flame retardants. Lasts but damages environment entire time. Yet environmental groups campaign against wool while wearing fleece jackets made from oil. The sheep are not the problem. The people campaigning against them are.

Fortunate to witness an astonishing spectacle at the beach tonight: tens & tens of thousands of (mainly Small) white butterflies pouring in over the sea, as far as you could see, to the east & west. Pulses of butterflies swept in-off everywhere, an extraordinary sight. 1/2
