Yay!! So the Govt *will* go ahead with #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. If we know & love nature, we’re far more likely to protect & restore it. Big shout-out to @curlewcalls for her vision🙏 https://t.co/iJ6jCUibyd
‘Daffodowndilly’
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour
“Winter is dead.”
~A.A.Milne #daffodil#spring#StDavidsDay

“February comes when we are sick of winter. Wishing to do her best, she ventures her spring costume: crocus, primrose and daffodil days. Ah no! We know March is to come with its frosts, a plunge back into the winter which poor February tried to flatter us was over.”~A.A.Milne
Household water bills are to rise by an eye-watering average of 26%.
That's the biggest increase since privatisation.
Why on earth should people have to pay hundreds more while greedy companies line their pockets and pollute our rivers.
Bring water back into public ownership!
