“But Rewilding Denmarkfield said its work showed how even when surrounded by urban sprawl and intensive farmland, pollinators can make a comeback if nature is given a chance.”

A good news story.
“The bumblebee population has made an impressive comeback in a developed area by increasing to 116 times what it was two years ago thanks to a nature restoration group.”

I am stuck in Devon because of #stormbert. There are many reasons why this is difficult, but there are certainly worse places to be stuck.

Today would be a great day for @gwruk.bsky.social to start using this here Bluesky account to help those of us currently stuck 100s of miles from home and trying to figure out our options 🙏 #stormburt

I really hope something can be done about our trains. I lost my Dad suddenly a couple of weeks ago, so far I've spent over £300 for 2 trips from London to Devon to help Mum. That's with a lot of compromise to get cheapest options. I've had delays, cancellations and a freezing train with no heating.
This is great news. Let’s do the water industry next

Very cold in London today (by our standards) but the last of autumn is still clinging to our wonderful street trees. (And yes, we had a bluesky)

Whenever I worry that some patient information I'm writing isn't clear, concise, useful or accessible enough, I remind myself that within a day there will be some kind of communication from my children's school that will make me feel astonishingly competent.

Lovely to find so many people here who I used to enjoy hearing from in the other place (before they were lost in the sludge). And loving the starter packs as a way to find new people.
Maybe we can still have nice things? 🤞
