Back - in moderation. Trying to find the whimsy and theatre-y and to avoid negativity and hate that this platform has in growing abundance. โIf youโve nothing nice to say then say nothing at allโ is an adage many could remember online. Thank you to those whoโve reached out ๐ค

There is a brief moment each year when spring has not quite left and summer has not quite arrived.
The hawthorn still clings to the hedgerows.
Foxgloves begin to rise beside country lanes.
Swifts scream overhead after their long journey from Africa.
Across meadows, wildflowers are reaching their peak, while young birds and animals venture into the world for the first time.
The days are longer, the fields are greener, and the countryside feels full of life.
It is a season that lasts only a few weeks.
Soon the hay will be cut, the wildflowers will begin to fade, and high summer will take over.
For now, England sits in that brief space between spring and summer.
The countryside is at its finest.
What is your favourite sign that summer has arrived?

British pollinators. What a workforce ! Without this amazing team there would be no gardens or food for that matter. We must do our best to look after them, teach our kids they are friends and build habitats to show them how loved they really are.

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.
After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.
Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system โ while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

Someone should invent a self-replicating machine that removes carbon and pollution from the air and produces food and oxygen.
Oh shit hang on, that's just a tree.
