Pumpkins:
Halloween is one night.
If you have to waste a food item (and I strongly suggest you don't), please put it out for one night, then dispose of it.
Please DO NOT put it out for the wildlife.
Once you've handled it, cut it, left it out in the open, unrefrigerated, it will not be hygienic or safe for anyone to eat.
Pumpkins are a low-acid vegetable, so once they are cut and left at room temperature, pathogens will rapidly grow on the flesh.
Our precious wildlife do not have any magical properties that protect them against food poisoning.
Additionally, this time of year there are baby hedgehogs around, born too late to find natural food, desperate to eat anything to stop the pain of starvation.
Pumpkin has a laxative affect so it would be particularly cruel to leave it out for starving wildlife to eat in desperation, causing them to lose precious fluids that may make the difference between life and death.
So no matter what you read elsewhere, please DO NOT put your discarded decoration out for the birds or any other wildlife.
It's waste, fit only for the bin.

🆘Please help get this vital message spread far and wide, to save precious lives and prevent suffering.🚨

@ruskin147 I saw the first picture earlier and popped on a quick like, was so pleased to see her spending the night in her new bed with the Prof away. But just now, I cam back and scrolled down... my heart melts, as I know how glorious it is to share your warm bed with a beautiful girl.

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

I've had 7 phone calls this morning already, all saying the same thing - "I found a little hedgehog out in the day so I brought her home and I've got her in a box. She's fine really, just hungry, because she's eating well, shall I just release her in the garden?"
Please remember a hedgehog out in the day is a dying animal, desperate for help.
Hypothermia is a stage of dying, when the body redirects blood flow to the heart and lungs, to give them as much oxygen as possible in a desperate attempt to stay alive.
This leaves the extremities feeling cold, forcing nocturnal animals to come out to get the day's warmth, whether the sun is out or not.
But when we see a hedgehog out in the day, even if we've read somewhere that this means they are seriously ill, we like to prove ourselves right - offer food, see if she eats.
Yes! She's eating, so must be okay, just hungry, right? WRONG!
Wild animals are completely different to domesticated animals.
They have a survival imperative to eat, even when dying, because there's no telling when they may find food again.
This has been bred out of our domesticated animals. So appetite is NOT an indicator of heath.
You can only tell a hedgehog is ill because of their abnormal behaviour.
As nocturnal animals, being out in the day is abnormal - no matter how 'healthy' they look.
Once out in the day they are dying.
It's an emergency.
They need urgent treatment from a good rescue (not a vet).
Sick hedgehogs don't always look sick.
But the fact they are out in the day tells you that they are.
So please don't waste precious time offering food or taking photos, please #BeTheirAmbulance and get them to a rescue urgently.

@TVMartinRoberts If it was lunch at 16.14, I think you had earned the full 12"!! 👏 I do love your videos. 😂

[Keri Harrowven @KeriHarrowven]

@TVMartinRoberts I honestly can't imagine why you guys have NEVER won an award! The show is so great, and perfectly put together, why oh why has that never been recognised with an award. I guess you're just too unique to clearly fit in any specific category... celebrate that uniqueness!

[Norfolk Police @NorfolkPolice]

Police are appealing for help to trace a man who is missing from Norwich.

Anthony Hill, aged 37, was last seen at 7.45am today (Monday 17 June 2024) when he left his home address on Plumstead Road East.

Have you seen him? https://t.co/lPznwLsbEN

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

I have people all over the country calling me, willing to travel for 2 or 3 hours, because there are no other good rescues around. That's how rare good, experienced, knowledgeable, trustworthy rescues are.
@helen_collis is one of them.
She had to close for repairs and is struggling to finish.
Folk with sick hedgehogs are literally queuing up, waiting for her to reopen.
Please support her, wherever you are in the country. Her GoFundMe link is below.
Or PayPal https://t.co/zHfOdTL1g6
If you can't give money, retweeting her needs is equally as valuable and supportive.
She needs £5000 but only has £840 now, so please amplify this as far and wide as you can. And I know you can, I'm excited to see the results!🥰
Thank you so much.💕

@Rylan Having seen this post, I've just binge listened all three episodes on iplayer. What a joy to see you both embracing new things, supporting each other and seeing your passions in a new light, through the eyes of another. Thank you both, more please @RobbieRinder and @Rylan

@TVMartinRoberts I have no problem with breakfast in pyjamas, but surely that's what room service is for. I now have awful visions of complete strangers wandering round in pyjamas!

[Keri Harrowven @KeriHarrowven]

@ruskin147 What an excited little girl. Completely joyous to see her so happy.

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn.

So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy."

The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’

He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience.

The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask."

Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

Having had the great pleasure of visiting the National Trust Plant Conservation Centre myself, the work they do is so important. I'm absolutely delighted to see they have been working their magic of the remains of the glorious Sycamore Gap tree.

Some much-needed hope: we have Sycamore Gap seedlings! All thanks to our brilliant teams at the Plant Conservation Centre 🌱
