Have you heard of Belarus? Do you care? I spent much time there from 2000-2008 working for a charity. The fear of Lukashenko was immense. I could not talk freely in our hotel rooms as they may have been bugged. Our passports were confiscated twice. It is a dictatorship.
An amazing bit of rare footage of the Giant Giby that is also found in our rock pools at Wembury. There was a siting during the midnight ramble on last year’s fantastic Bioblitz.
The Giant goby is the ultimate rockpool denizen! It is incredibly rare, only recorded between Wembury and IoS! It is one of the reasons we discourage the use of nets, as it is illegal to disturb them! Head 👉 https://t.co/bqzcE8xW6i for our full Seashore Code #NationalMarineWeek
@samsparkes999 Arthur had both of his done at the same time as he was neutered. So interested in his front paws that he I’d not notice his other bits. He had nearly ripped one of them clean off in a cattle grid and the other was sticking out as well. Insurance 🎉
@rockpoolproject Are you going to use my method Mike? Squishy nose C. montagui, smiling Buddha C, stellatus, beaky crow Austrominius, castle mouth and 6 wall fortress B. balanoides. Have a great evening.
@TantamKate@UHP_NHS@physio_rob Thank you so much for organising this birthday party for Christine. As landlady of the Odd Wheel in Wembury, she did so much for the people of the village. We all wish her a speedy recovery. Thank you for your care.
A big thank you to the #ICU AND #Rehablegend for organising the birthday party for Christine Colmer, landlady of the Odd Wheel in Wembury. What you do makes a difference to lives.
I love the #NHS -here’s why
Today a #ICU#Rehablegend had a party... my colleagues made banners, bunting, cards, gifts & pampered her like a queen #OperationSparkleICU
Everyone went above & beyond- because that is just what the #NHS does- everyday

@rorybremner Maybe garden centres. The plants are dying too, DIY stock will still be good no matter how long lockdown lasts. Also, for people like me who are shielding, I cannot leave the house but we have nothing to plant in our garden. It would give me something positive to do.
@mcsuk A couple of years ago I found a huge ball of goose barnacles washed up onto Wembury Beach. They were growing on a large polystyrene mooring buoy. Amazing sight.
Budget airline Ryanair says it expects most of its flights to be grounded from Tuesday.
The company also says it has offered its aircraft to all EU governments for rescue flights and the essential movement of medicines, personal protective equipment (PPE) and food supplies.
Aviemore Coylumbridge Hotel sent this letter to staff today. Not just fired but chucked out of their accommodation with no notice and no redundancy pay! @BritanniaLtd Britannia Hotels should be ashamed of themselves. Certainly no "room at the inn" here, disgusting.
@rob_baggies That is such a lovely gesture. I am really worried about the homeless but as I have cancer, have to socially distance myself. The government should be putting funding in to help them along with small businesses etc.
@peterpalmer52@BallouxFrancois Every time someone says we should not worry too much as it only affects the elderly & vulnerable, my blood wants to boil. I am 66 & have incurable Stage 4 cancer. Maybe I am expendable as I am taking up too much of the valuable NHS’s time. What if, it only affects teenagers?
@polarplasticcod @thembauk A really interesting talk. I had not realised the importance of marine snow in reducing carbon. Thanks Cordelia, great talk.
