@RheaRose03 Love the colours - cornflower blues, orange embers, and strawberry red 🍓

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

'I’m truly bowled over by the outpouring of support and affection since revealing my dementia diagnosis.

'Receiving a dementia diagnosis can turn your world upside down, but I really do believe it’s better to know.

'Too many people are experiencing delays in diagnosis - on average 3.5 years - meaning they’re left in limbo without the help they need.

'An early diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, care and the chance to take part in research that could change the future. 

'People living with dementia and their families have waited long enough for change. We must demand better for everyone affected.

'I would urge everyone to join me in signing Alzheimer’s Society’s open letter calling on government to deliver a bold and ambitious plan for dementia.’

@juliet_turner6 I've noticed them too. I found this one amongst the taller grass and the clovers earlier today.

@CarlBovisNature The rain has brought the slugs out! I found a few in the garden last night.

The most I will do is pick them out from amongst the plants I want, or make use of copper tape and grit. Certainly no poisons because why would I put that into the food chain!?

@AuntCunt What is it that you really fancy?

[Philip Through the Looking Glass @PhilipSimons18]

@juliet_turner6 You mean, you got two beautiful creatures for the price of one?
Well, that just sounds like a bargain!

[Philip Through the Looking Glass @PhilipSimons18]

@DrAllyLouks Are those bee bums I see in the foxgloves?
Always a pleasure to see bee bums in the flowers!

I need to start adding links to my bird photo prints more regularly in the replies under the photos, because my little business needs more income & many followers don't even realise that they can buy most of the photos they see here! 🙏🐦❤️

@Shrink_at_Large Wait, when @Helen_Whately admitted that @SophyRidgeSky should probably talk to a psychiatrist for definitions, was she essentially admitting that she was talking absolute guff?

That's handy. Now I know not to listen to her. Thanks, Helen.

Amazing scenes in Somerset... 😉🐦❤️

@CarlBovisNature Advocating for doing the right thing, for having basic respect and consideration, ought not to be divisive. But here we are.
The news often has me despairing.
So I turn to nature, *sigh*, only to find. . .
There's good, but there's much to despair over under the trees, as well

[Philip Through the Looking Glass @PhilipSimons18]

@juliet_turner6 I don't know if this helps, but I do believe the etymology for the word magpie is tied to the name Margaret which, in (less PC) times gone by, was given to women who were thought to chat too much.

@CarlBovisNature There's little lives in the grass, the hawkweed and the nettles. . .

@joemartin1066 Not "totally mental". . .

All that you sense in the world isn't as you perceive it; your brain takes in sensory data, and turns it into colour and sound. . . light and vibration!

That's totally mental!

You found some things in a place.

That's pretty blah, if you ask me.

[Philip Through the Looking Glass @PhilipSimons18]

@AuntCunt Welp. That's my plans for the Bank Holiday weekend taken care of 🙌

@CarlBovisNature @greenbeltsal I have seen swifts this spring, but I would love to see more in springs yet to come.
