Thank you so much for all the suggestions.... especially the ones that pointed out that whatever gadget I use will work better if it's T-shaped. So I'm going to try one of these. Fingers crossed 🤞

Has anyone with arthritis in their fingers tried using something like this? I'm struggling to open/shut my hot water bottle... so looking for something to make it easier.
Already have lots of advice for the arthritis itself, just need an easier-to-open hot water bottle, or a gadget to help!

My granddaughter, Arrietty (aged 10, and home schooled) has started coming to me this term for Nature Studies.
This Small Copper butterfly is from her nature journal.
Next week we’re studying Jays, and the role they play in the growth of Oak forests, so watch this space…

Please can anyone tell me what this is? Could it be an aquatic flatworm? I don’t think it’s a leech, but I really haven’t got a clue! Found on the underside of a leaf floating in our garden pond in Cornwall…

A Walk Through The Woods In Autumn' by Russian artist Sergei Vinogradov (1869 - 1938)
Such a great painting. Is she waiting for her dog to catch her up? Or perhaps she's heard something? I quite like not knowing...
