No fancy bio here I'm afraid.😁Attempting to live a meaningful life. Find great joy in nature (especially birds) and love my German Shepherd girl. Love nothing more than snuggling up with a good book, accompanied by the gentle snoring of my dog.
Definitely food for thought.
Is doom scrolling really rotting our brains? The evidence is getting harder to ignore | Siân Boyle
‘Brain rot’ is the Oxford word of the year – a fitting choice, given the startling impact the internet is having on our grey matter, says journalist Siân Boyle

Now it's time for the Goldfinch to show off their splendid colours for all to see, they love to pose and as with most Finches they are messy eaters.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

Might treat myself to one of these as an early Christmas present. 🌱😊

A story tells of the little mice seeking shelter from a forest fire. The Douglas fir swept them up and kept them safe inside its fir cones. Still to this day if you look carefully, you can see their little feet and tails poking out from between the scales of the cone. #FolkloreSunday #nature

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blue tits, small mammals, insects, robins, frogs, bats, toads, dunnocks, butterflies, moths, blackbirds, solitary bees, wrens, hoverflies...

Simply stunning. 🦉
A snowy owl, just sitting pretty in a field of snow on a cold winter's day. Those yellow eyes are simply hypnotizing. Careful, or she might convince you to send a large transfer to her Venmo account. Lesson learned the hard way 😀

The Seven Stages of climate denial:
1. It's not real
2. It's not us
3. It's not that bad
4. We have time
5. It's too expensive to fix
6. Here's a fake solution
7. It's too late: you should have warned us earlier
Trolls use all of these stages to deny reality of #climatechange on Ex-Twitter 🤣

Beautiful Bobbin all fluffed up against the cold and wind looking like a fluffy tennis ball!🥰
It was cold today and Bobbin had his big coat on. Not sure why he's leaning to one side. Maybe he's got something heavy in his pocket? 😂 #ukwildlife #birds #wildlife @rspb.bsky.social

Today's word is ‘vellichor’
Meaning: The wistful, nostalgic, and almost magical feeling one experiences in an old bookstore.

So, my neighbour has just called to tell me that 2 of my fence panels on our shared boundary ( but my responsibility) have broken because of storm Darragh. Good news is that if I get the panels, he's offered to fit them for me. So grateful for his kindness.😊
