There are a lot of small pockets of wetlands in West Lancashire, remnants of what was the largest body of freshwater in England until it was drained in the 1700's leaving just a few isolated ponds that make up Martin Mere today. Although evidence still exists 🧵 #wetlands #rewilding #martinmere

Waves collide with the jagged stone, A dance where sea and rock have grown. Spray erupts, and the sky is kissed, By nature’s force, a fleeting mist. Golden cliffs in sunlight gleam, Whispers of an ocean dream. The tide retreats, but not for long. It sings its endless, roaring song.

Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?
