Love nature in all its forms. Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig. Now over on Bluesky - why don't you join us, it's nice over there?

[Jenny @headcovers]

@Met4CastUK Genuinely upset to lose your brilliant insights on the weather. Damn those idiots that drove you away. 😭

[Jenny @headcovers]

@MartinSLewis I'll have to withdraw money from savings which are already worth a lot less due to the effect of the war on the financial market. Why should people who've worked all their life and saved for retirement and never had benefits be penalised due to this war?

[Jenny @headcovers]

@MartinSLewis I'm retired, living off a small pension and my savings that I built into an ISA over the past 15 years. I'm not on any benefits, I'm not considered "vulnerable", but I just can't afford to pay a heating oil bill which is more than twice what it would be usually.

[Jenny @headcovers]

@Met4CastUK The question is; given that SW Wiltshire had more rain today than is warned about tomorrow, why didn't we have a weather warning today?!? It's bucketed down all day & the groundwater & boreholes are at property flooding levels again. But all that was forecast was "light rain"

[Jenny @headcovers]

@Met4CastUK Sorry, just seen you've already answered for Salisbury. Thank you for what you do.

[Jenny @headcovers]

@Steph_BBandT .... and I don't have the house yet either.

[Jenny @headcovers]

@Steph_BBandT That's a mere drop in the ocean compared to how much it's going to cost us to move to Scotland. 10 times what you've been quoted!

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

Foxes are being brutalised in the name of "sport" despite the majority of us opposing it.

RT if you think we should protect foxes and ban hunting once and for all!

@FlowerdewBob Thanks, Bob.

[Jenny @headcovers]

@FlowerdewBob Hi Bob. I've grown Mini Munch cucumbers for years. This year has, unsurprisingly, been a bumper crop, but they're all much longer than usual . They're normally 3-4" long & very stocky, pumped up. This yrs are 6 " and thinner. Still yummy, but is that normal?

[Jenny @headcovers]

@peacockreports We always call our consistent lack of rain (when everyone around us is getting it) the "Salisbury gap". Whenever there is a forecast of heavy rain or storms, we watch it coming, only for it to "hop" over us and then carry on once it's past.

I did not write this, just passing it on..

Don’t Mess with Anyone Over 60.

Seriously.

They’re not just older, they’re a different species.

Built from cold toast, hot tempers, and instincts sharper than any app.

These are the people who:

Could read their mom’s mood by the slam of a cabinet door.

Wielded a flying slipper like a heat-seeking missile.

Knew by age 7: “Lunch is in the fridge. Heat it up. Don’t burn the house down.”

At 9, they could cook soup — no recipe, no measurements, just vibes.

By 10, they were fixing taps, dodging stray dogs, and wearing buckets as armor.

They grew up outside.

No phones. No screens.

Just monkey bars → creeks → scraped knees → home by sunset.

Their Wi-Fi? Instinct.

Their antivirus? A garden hose and a gut of steel.

Bread with sugar. Cuts patched with spit and a mystery leaf.

Allergies? Maybe. But unless something fell off — “You’re fine.”

They survived it all:

Transistor radios and vinyl stacks
Black-and-white TV with rabbit ears
Cassettes, Discmans, and pencils jammed into tape reels.

Now they carry every song ever made in their pocket but still miss the sweet grind of a cassette rewinding.

When they got a driver’s license?

They crossed countries with just a paper map, egg sandwiches, and pure faith.
No AC. No GPS. No reservations.

Just: Go.

They remember life before the internet.
Before "low battery" was a thing.

Before birthdays needed reminders.

If they forgot yours? They just didn’t show up. No big deal.

These legends:

Fixed everything with duct tape and a butter knife
Had one TV channel and loved it

Think “scrolling” still means flipping through a phone book

Believe: “If you didn’t answer, you must be alive. Call back later.”

They’re not soft.

They’re forged from rusted metal swings and emotional asbestos.

Tough skin. Sharper minds. Ninja reflexes from dodging life the hard way.

They’ve seen more. Felt deeper.

And they’ve got a Werther’s Original in their pocket that predates your TikTok account.

Astonishingly well researched piece of journalism. A true eye opener and definitely something to watch as the story unfolds.

[The Observer @ObserverUK]

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

@Catherinewith11 I thought I was the only one who spent weeks relocating them as the plant they were on was exhausted. Totally run out in the garden now.... and somehow I feel so guilty. (Heads off to find some ragwort in the village).

[Jenny @headcovers]

@MartinSLewis Quick question, @MartinSLewis . The current annual limit for both types of ISA (Cash/Funds) is £20,000. If the limit on Cash ISA'S is put at £4,000, would you still be able to put the balance of £16,000 into a Funds ISA?

@DaveGoulson @PAN_UK @WildlifeTrusts @SussexUni The following has kept my dog flea free for the past 3 years: 1/2 tsp of the following mix of dried herbs a day, 2 cups each of mint and lemon balm, 1 cup seaweed, 1/2 cup each fenugreek and neem leaves
