If you are a farmer, and you are feeling quietly (or not so quietly) disappointed at the prospect of the new Environmental Land Management scheme being derailed before it has even started, now is the time to speak out.

I swear it’s some kind of sick in joke that the returns process for @ZARA involves having unhelpful monosyllabic miseries on the phone on the customer care line. Best question was why can’t you take it back to store.. it’s an hours drive away and a pandemic.

[Richard Whiting @PracticalWorks]

Unhelpful customer care line and poor Christmas returns policy from @ZARA. A credit note would do.

Another conifer stump alive whilst it should be dead
However still linked into the root system of its neighbouring trees via the mycelium network underground & gaining life support nutrition via the mycelium as evidenced by the healing of the cut unsurprisingly at a Cep hotspot

Amazing project by @StaffsWildlife with
@StaffsUni to re-naturalise the River Trent

This was a deep straight concrete lined river channel just 12 months ago

Look at it now!

@StaffsWTChief @StaffMoorlandDC Not sure not sure that SMDC Will do anything. Fiddling while the moorlands burn. No action, and happy to hang on to the greenwash from talking with SWT.

@DionDublinsDube perfectly put on football focus.

MISSING EAGLE's SATELLITE TAG FOUND cut & wrapped in lead sheeting, dumped in a river at Strathbraan.

Who killed this eagle and tried to destroy the evidence?

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

NHS cleaning staff rarely receive any praise

But they do an incredibly important job and will help save many lives over the coming weeks, so please spare a RT for all of them
