It’s not that Hebrideans don���t like ferry jokes. They crack ferry jokes all the time. They just want some ferries to make jokes about.

So this massive piece of driftwood has washed up on Vaul Beach this morning. You often find wee bits of wood and debris with small numbers of Gosse Barnacles dead on them but I've never seen anything like this. There must be thousands of all different ages and they are alive.

“Imagine the hustle and bustle of the flitting, and the stories that would be told there, and welcome the new sense of place that will await you.”
@FrisealMacRab has written this month’s TaD article for @WHFP1. Buy the paper if you can, it's their first week in print after Covid.

#dailydoseofnature WORK

We’ve been working hard to get the garden ready to welcome back some of our volunteers. It’s a slow process but totally worth it. Eventually we will open up the garden to everyone. Until then enjoy the view 😊🌿

[Viewfieldgarden @Viewfieldgarden]

#dailydoseofnature WAIT With more time at home a lot of us are getting stuck in to our garden. This often involves removing unwanted plants. We wanted to encourage you to be mindful when doing this-you may find something has made a home in your weeds! Like these caterpillars 🐛🌿

THREAD : ALARM BELLS RINGING

Some really worrying developments have taken place this week across Europe and in the UK.

However the mainstream media don’t seem to be giving it a great deal of attention or making the necessary links.

Yet alarm bells should be ringing.
