I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Whenever I pass a dog on a walk, I let it sniff my hand and say hello. Though I like dogs, I'm also doing a check-in like the original Terminator film to prove I'm a human, not a flesh covered robot. If you're with me and don't let the dog sniff you, I'll be judging/suspicious.

They treat nature like it has no voice.

But it does. Yours, ours, and millions more.

If you believe nature deserves better than this, make sure your MP hears it loud and clear:

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature!
I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?

This current UK weather seems to be really great for the funky woodland mushrooms.
I love the mushrooms that look like they're just enormous mouths shouting as they pop out of the tree trunk 😂 🍄

Some bees don’t just buzz—they bite the flower too! 🐝
By gripping the anthers, their buzz sends stronger vibrations that release more pollen.
