80% of the UK have consistently wanted fox hunting to be banned - it is a vile and embarrassing tradition carried out by a tiny minority of cruel people. It has been illegal for years but continues to be celebrated by these people and illegal hunts still rip beautiful foxes apart alive.

“By the end of 2025, the UK's 10 warmest years on record will all have taken place in the last two decades, in measurements going back to the late 1800s.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... but sure, believe the fossil fuel companies and their spokespeople Trump and Farage
2025 likely to be UK's hottest year ever recorded – Met Office
Scientists could not be clearer that human-caused climate change is driving the UK's warming trend.

Petition asking the Labour Government to put a timeline on the ban of peat based composts by @peatfree.bsky.social has flown past 5,000 signatures already. Labour is damaging economic growth in the horticulture sector with uncertainty on this issue actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

No disrespect at all to these people as I’m happy for them but I wish solstice stories were balanced out with how people like me celebrate this natural moment in the year just by enjoying the day with a walk or with friends, without any worship, ritual or religion. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thousands take to the Neolithic circle to welcome the sunrise on the shortest day of the year.

Fantastic news - all trophy or fun hunting and related activities used to keep it going should not be allowed in the UK

Winter solstice, shortest day of the year for the northern hemisphere because we’re at a point in earth’s orbit of the sun where our end of the planet is tilted away from the star. Solstice is the scientific term for that exact point in the orbit. From today the daylight grows slowly longer before..

It’s a sad indictment of Britain’s ignorance of nature that Sycamore Gap petitions - for a tree that mattered to humans but not nature - received tens of thousands of signatures but a petition to protect entire peatland habitats is stuck at 1,500 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

It’d be amazing to reach 5,000 signatures by the end of the year - enough is enough! Ban peat compost now. actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...
Smashed through 3000 signatures and still climbing... we knew there was strong public support for legislation to #endpeatsales and now we're proving it. Keep signing, keep sharing, let's take this as far as it'll go 🙏 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

An absolute disaster for nature, climate and humanity - everything we depend on to survive, from food to water, requires a healthy natural world. In the UK nature is already at rock bottom, one of the worst in the world. This Government is doing the unthinkable and harming what little is left.

A couple of practices yesterday of an amazing sunrise we had this week (bottom) and sunset (top). Both of these were unsuccessful as they don’t capture either for me. However they were successful for fun and continued practice with colour and mark making.
