My natural history book of the year is ‘Urban Plants’ by @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social
Informative, entertaining and inspiring - after reading it you will never walk down a street, pass by a wall or look at a grass verge in the same way again. Highly recommended @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
Centuries of overgrazing & muirburn for grouse moors mean Highland Scotland looks treeless & desolate. But it doesn't have to be this way. New film Scotland's Missing Forests went online y'day. Chuffed to see almost 10k views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV... @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
Wow thank you!
This is super interesting but sadly behind paywall - can someone share? I thought I was perimenopausal, turns out I was very much hypothyroid. Correct medication made a huge difference.
Currently very cross with Elmore Leonard for killing off the character I expected to ride into the sunset with their newfound love. And I've got another of his books waiting to be read! I won't open it for at least 2 days. That will teach him. (I won't last that long. I love his writing very much.)
Hah you’ve changed over already? For us it’s this weekend I think. Or, never, for the oven clock😅
Entry to the Fayre is free and we have some fantastic free activities, a range of amazing market stallholders, as well as coffee, cake and pizza! www.eventbrite.com/cc/autumn-fa...
Last call to book your tickets to our wonderful nature activities and walks at the Autumn Fayre this Saturday! You can also turn up on the day but spaces are limited and we are likely to sell out. www.eventbrite.com/cc/autumn-fayre-1270279
Last few free tickets available to the launch event in our Summer Series at the growing project, Martha Swales’ talk on Wednesday 28th May, 6:30pm. Martha is an avid urban gardener from London who has been growing her own produce for over 12 years www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/summer-tal...
Wow. The future is already here it is just unevenly distributed. We just have the milk man on his electric milk float😄
When offered a choice of bowls, free-ranging dogs in India tend to approach a yellow one much more than blue or grey
As the Europe-USA tariff tiff is heating up, I would just like to point out that Americans still can’t pronounce ‘aluminium’ properly
Trump is truly terrible but forget about him for a moment - congrats for landing on the Moon! Go Texas!🎉
You and I had the same hairstyle in 1996! 😄
Ahhh I am so envious!😋 Any restaurant where you have to sit on one of those bright red/green/blue plastic stools is usually 💯! Have fun!

To deliver much-needed housing while ensuring that our natural environment is protected and enhanced, the Government must work closely with ecologists, planners, landscape architects and other environmental experts.

Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease.
For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below;

In Hungarian, if you bring home your packed lunch, you would say it was "seen by a bird", and I like that phrasing very much. We all need more magical forest thinking.
Here is more info + how to book. I recommend Shoryu Ramen Kensington for lunch after. www.japanhouselondon.uk/whats-on/loo...

We went to see the plastic food model exhibition at Japan House on Sunday and loved it very much. It’s free, you just need to book. Go early so there are no queues at the self assembly bento area, perfect for your Insta feed.
Thank you to everyone who came to our after school growing session on Monday, it was lovely to see the children being so engaged with nature. Please book your free tickets for the upcoming sessions here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/after-scho...
It's nice to see so many faces from Twitter joining Bluesky. It only took 2 years...
Also I hope you are OK with the fires and everything 😬
In the 90s you usually found a taxi / motorbike taxi driver who would take around the sites for a few days according to the schedule you planned. They would congregate outside your hotel and you would choose a guy and agree on the fees
It's worth planning what order to visit the temples in, and leave Angkor Wat itself for last. My favourite was the Bayon
