Just seen Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) - what a superb show. I belly laughed the whole way through. Go and see it! #JaneAusten#GirlPower@pandpsortof
☀️ Summer holidays = trips to the park. But did you know most councils spray with toxic pesticides? ⚠️
Weedkillers are bad for our health and destroy the flowers bumblebees depend on 🥀

On Jan 25th 2023...292 Tory MPS voted for 15 more years of sewage dumping.
The water companies listened and Sewage spills DOUBLED in 2023 to
4 million hours
Dividends to shareholders ALMOST TRIPLED to £1.4 BILLION in tax year 2022/23 @FT
See the pattern yet?
Places people love to just stop:
-Supermarket entrance
-Bottom of the escalator
-Tube train doorway
-Restaurant entrance
-Busy pavement
-Upon exiting a lift
-Immediately after going through a ticket barrier
Once again, @DefraGovUK has been asked to allow use of a banned pesticide. When 1 teaspoon of this poison is enough to kill 1.25 million bees, it should be nowhere near our wildlife. Tell the Farming Minister why these pesticides should stay banned. 🐝👉 wtru.st/yes-to-healthy…

Somehow I’ve not seen the gentle and brilliant #detectorists before now. What beautiful writing, characters and storylines. What goes unsaid in each episode is just as powerful as what is. Wonderful
It's been a fantastic year for hummingbird hawk moths!
The hummingbird hawk-moth migrates to the UK from Southern Europe each year. It can be seen hovering over flowers, feeding with its long proboscis; its wings move so quickly that it 'hums'.
Have you seen any recently? 👀
Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Plastic grass reduces food & shelter for wildlife such as bees & butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More bit.ly/3wE67P8 🐝
@iwlandscaper@Hilliergarden@Shitlawns By that same argument it’s fine for shops to sell disposable BBQs in areas where the country is experiencing severe drought with high risk of fires for example? Where are @Hilliergarden principles?
The government has approved the use of a bee killing pesticide for sugar beet despite it being banned. Their own experts advised against it. Just one teaspoon is enough to kill 1.25 billion bees. Think this is wrong? RT and tag your MP. 🐝☠️
