Exciting evening as the first of the swifts have completed their migration and returned to the church tower 😊 #swift #swiftmigration #birdwatching

What a wonderful world. 💚🌍 #OneSmileEachDay #EarthDay2020

Super useful article explaining how to #volunteer safely whilst on lockdown. Over half a million people have already signed up to volunteer for the @nhs . Such kindness in this difficult time 😊

A German-speaking relative tells me that the German for panic buying is “hamsterkäufe” - as in how hamsters stuff their cheeks to store food

Pangolins are in the middle of a poaching and trafficking crisis. Today, on #WorldPangolinDay, take action to end the illegal trade of the world’s most trafficked mammal. https://t.co/B3InudVz0Y

A heartwarming insight into volunteering with Samaritans and a reminder that Christmas can be a diifult time for many. I have so much admiration for these volunteers 😊

[Samaritans @samaritans]

Samaritans volunteer, Sue, is preparing for her first Christmas Day shift this year. She'll be one of many of our amazing volunteers giving up part of their Christmas Day for people who are struggling 💚 https://t.co/gv8zNfQ1Lx

@Marielle1170 @Dr_Charlie_Gibb The system is flawed and the experiences I have heard about regarding postal voting discourages me from signing up to for it.

[Katherine Leach @KatherineELeach]

@Marielle1170 @Dr_Charlie_Gibb As somebody who had voted by proxy for the first time I didn’t realise but this also by post. I was expect my nominated person to go to the polling station on my behalf but they received our voting slips in the post a week ago! Hence last min proxy voting would also be tricky.

Sadly it is my last day working at the @ThamesHospCare but am looking forward to new adventures and challenges. Will miss working with the wonderful #volunteers and staff - the service they deliver is so special. #LoVols #thameshospice

@cjmthompson That’s a great list! Maybe we should get an easel next!
