A snowfall of wood anemones 🤍 They are also known as windflowers - the Greek gods of the winds were the Anemoi. Wood anemones spread only six feet in a hundred years - a woodland like this one has been thousands of years in the making.

A wonderful contribution to our photo competition! "During lockdown I wanted to help out people [...] I found out that the local hospital were looking for people to knit or crochet hearts for patients and loved ones who couldn’t see one another due to the restrictions..."

3 years ago today Britain went into the first lockdown. Our project is capturing the experience of women who lived through this experience. We're inviting written and photographic responses from women across the UK to share their lockdown stories. rgu.ac.uk/news/news-2023…

So, I just found out that Spousal, or Marital, rape wasn't outlawed in the UK until 2003. Domestic Violence against women increased by 500,000 between 2017-2022. This is 6.9% of all women in E&W. During lockdown, there was a 65% increase in calls for help.

Almost 220,00 people in the UK alone have died with Covid on their death certificate. That’s more than the entire population of Aberdeen or Northampton. Countless families with loss. And that’s before we talk about the ongoing debilitation of Long Covid. And we’ve what? Moved on?

I find it incredible that we are approaching the third anniversary of the UK lockdown and there is barely a peep about it or what we collectively experienced. I don’t understand why or how we have just moved on from the biggest global crisis since WW2 like it didn’t happen. /1
