Next year, please let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species. They're a great early season food source for pollinators including bees, butterflies and hoverflies. No need to mow. And please don't use weedkiller. RT if you're on board 🐝
Here I go again! Media siding with the supermarkets. All farmers want is a fair price, they’ve already upped the price for you as the consumer why can’t it filter down to us so we can cover costs?? #payfarmersfair
‘90% rain’ yeah…”SWW sewage discharge this morning at StAgnes. Unbelievable. A dad just got out this arvo and said to his 3 year old ‘Best wash the sewage off…’ It is still stinking. No way am I surfing in that.

Bank of England's just increased UK base rates by 0.5% points from 1.75% to 2.25%. Highest since '08

SAVINGS many won't pass rise on, be prepared to switch
