I am so excited. I have just heard the call of a cuckoo coming from our woods. Only the second time in the twenty plus years we’ve lived here.

In case you missed it ... When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The people of Wales are funding England's HS 2 project to the tune of £3.9 b and will receive zero benefit. When the Port Talbot Steel Works were in trouble, the establishment all but ignored their requests for help. WM must be dismantled. #IndepepdenceforUKColonies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nest building is in full swing. Great & Blue Tits are particularly active, coming to the kitchen window to collect natural jute twine, which I've cut into 1 inch lengths & blitzed in the food processor. There's absolutely no risk of entanglement when the jute is processed like this. #ukwildlife
