The weekend always comes around quickly, so that means it's got to be #SquirrelSaturday.
So here's a set of Grey Squirrels who wouldn't pose correctly as they said i was paying them #PeaNuts 😂, i denied it so this is all they would give me.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays
Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

A lovely and generous thread. We are (or can be) better than we are told we are.
Personal note: London has been home for a very, very long time, but as of today, I am also officially a Brit - that is to say, a British citizen. I feel relieved and I feel grateful - but not, perhaps, in the forelock-tugging way GB News/Starmer expect a new immigrant to be.

Putting this together was actually a HUGE amount of fun.

Feel free to share it - here or on whatever platform and with whichever friend or family member you think would enjoy our vibe and the gorgeous community we have become.

Was sitting on the top deck of a bus today, listening to a podcast, when I noticed we’d been sitting at the same stop for a while. Looked around to find top deck deserted. Went downstairs to find myself alone on bus with no other passengers and no driver. So, there’s that.

For the first time in a while I’ve got some baby #squirrels visiting the garden. I hope the extra food helps. Summer babies don’t usually do as well as ones born at the start of the year. #sqrlpix #SquirrelsOfBluesky #Squirrelsky #SquirrelScrolling
