We have a stall at Whitecross Christmas Market tomorrow - (near Bodinnick, #Cornwall) so I've spent my entire week preparing yummy edible (nutty) things to sell.
I hope the weather turns out to be a little less windy than they're forecasting...
Please wish us luck, and watch this space! 💨

🌟 Throwback to my 2020 research published in @science.org 🌼🐝 We showed how bumble bees actively shape their environment—making plants flower earlier to meet their needs. Nature’s engineers in action! 🧪🌏

I am somewhat biased towards lantern bugs and often make little trips searching for them. Here's Pyrops pythicus, endemic to Sumatra. How many colours do you see?

Outrage as video shows fox caught in 'barbaric' snare trap on King's Sandringham estate. 😡
No one should be using these vile traps anywhere, and the Royal family should lead the way and not use them.
SHARE if you think they should be banned.

Thankyou SO much for your RTs of my jewellery designs & Etsy shop last night, it helped massively. I still have 3 or 4 spaces left in my🌲 order book but the wolf is no longer lurking at the door. Starting on a new platform’s super tricky for an autistic brain but you’ve been flipping lovely 🌿
