Thanks, it is indeed. The bluebell walk was from www.shropshirehillsdiscoverycentre.co.uk/visit-us/ near Craven Arms, Shropshire (England). We live ca.7 miles away but we are surrounded by beautiful countryside here, so we usually walk more locally.

Many thanks for sharing this Lydia. It really highlights that we have to meet people where they are & listen to their concerns. How we are treated by health care professionals & how we treat others can have a lasting impact.

This is so true. Having built a couple of raised beds the 2 courgette plants have excelled themselves this year. So much so that apart from the currys, kebabs, giving them away etc we have had to find a courgette & pistachio cake recipe…🥮

Well that is good to know. Reviewing is so often a thankless task but it has such potential for encouraging/discouraging others 👼👿

Indeed measles certainly leads the way in infectivity. We probably all remember those R0 vales from COVID days scarily going above 1 (1.4-2.4), but measles is 12-18! although pertussis/whooping cough is almost equivalent at 12-17 & has a higher case fatality ratio #measles #pertussis #vaccines🦠💉

Looks like it although still not very speedily. I’m old enough to remember when the Health Protection Agency were moving there….& we had coach trips to see the site…..as others have said the worst decision has been the indecision…

Indeed. This scene with Sean Connery calling Ford ‘Junior’ was absolutely classic….

Alt: Scene from Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade. Sean Connery as Indiana’s father calling him Junior (which he hates).
