Been catching birdsong on Merlin app. I’m impressed I must say….usually it’s just blackbirds but I think loads of others had just fledged from nests hidden somewhere in my small wilderness

Yes, it’s also interesting, named for #Achilles, ancient herbal aromatic plant, drought tolerant, pops up in late summer out of dried up lawns. Not to be confused with wild carrot, which I also love! That has more lacy flowers ( and again not to be confused with Kek, Queens Annes Lace!)

So, wearing another hat, I went to #RHS #Chelsea #FlowerShow, which was greener and much more ‘democratic’ than a decade ago…it was lovely. Now where are the #Horti brigade on @bsky.app?

@learningdiseng.bsky.social sadly the new guide on Housing options leaves out Sheltered communities! It conflates #funding model with type of place/ #housing. In sheltered communities people can be funded via #SharedLives, #SupportedLiving #ResidentialCare or self funded. I’d be happy to help edit!
