Do you love snowdrops? Have you always been sad that a day and hashtag on the internet dedicated to them doesn't exist? Don't worry, we've invented one, and your life changes today.
Bring on the snowdrops, it's #NationalSnowdropDay.

โ4 million cups of tea served this year, 2 million scones, and a million slices of cake.โ
National Trust DG @HilaryMcGrady reports to members on the stuff that counts at todayโs AGM.
NEWS: St.Pancras station unveiled its Christmas tree today! We know, but it is a beauty. It's covered in books and there are cubby holes around the bottom where you can sit and read.
The fact that the @nationaltrust membersโ mag has the highest magazine circulation in the UK warms my British heart. Millions of us, reading about folklore, apple harvests and tapestry. This edition with Dr Who and the scone odyssey @nt_scones. Hooray for Britain. And scones. ๐ซก
Obviously I feel sorry for the staff and visitors involved but I also feel sorry for me as getting trapped in a National Trust tea room is my life ambition and I missed it.
instead of having a credit score everyone should be assigned a library card at birth, and the card is good for libraries all over the nation and there are prizes for having read a certain number of books.
According to the folklore of flowers, anyone who wanders into a ring of bluebells will fall under fairy enchantment.

when I was in the first grade we had a half-hour every day where everything stopped and the class spent half an hour silently reading whatever book we wanted and honestly we should make that a thing again.
