Sharing & learning about wildlife & environment. Tweets of what I observe on my wanderings. Sprinklings of my ‘humour’. Retweets of nature, environment, art.

Gloomy weather again today but day made nice by all the wildflowers on Uley Bury.

In the mid distance is Smallpox Hill, then Dursley town can be seen snuggled below the Cotswold Edge on the skyline. And a very tiny sliver of the Severn is visible top right!

Been an alright kind of day, but not looking forward to that 5.30 am start tomorrow. 🧊

These climate activists have had enough. People all over the world have had enough. It’s time the so-called leaders sat chatting around tables in Glasgow, stopped just talking and started acting on the #climatecrisis. #COP26 #MAPA

and it's definitely too beeping hot!

Partner asleep on airbed downstairs - where it's cooler - wakes up & can't stop laughing at sight of me sitting with trousers rolled up, feet in washing up bowl of cold water, typing on my laptop - and topless!

It's 1940s seaside resort meets '80s Page 3 and 21st century tech!

@optimist_press @jasonhickel True - but look at the millions of folk who can't wait to fly around the world again, or buy a big new car, or replace that carpet/kitchen/sofa which isn't worn out. And eat factory farmed meat even though they say they care about animals. Is consumerism the real evil?

@JWentomologist Love this as have some self-seeded hedge woundwort in my garden - I let it grow but do have to reign it in a bit!

If you are ever in a situation you feel uncomfortable with, do not care about being polite or nice - if you feel frightened call the police immediately - the harrasser is the one being a nuisance https://t.co/1B8HkYZTOL

@ChloeLe39602964 @TGardenHouse Yeah, I was taught to put the cream on the jam but when I grew up I made the switch to a big blob of jam on top of cream spread like butter - you know it makes sense!

@Leightonclay1 Is that tadpole smiling especially for the camera?

[Heather by the Severn @SevernWatch]

No idea why my twitter stream is full of diet ads today, except that I just scoffed a load of crisps!
Am I being watched???

[Heather by the Severn @SevernWatch]

@apeasbrain @marksandspencer TBH I had no idea M&S had that reputation, and even if it does I don't believe it.

@choughchough @RosieP4 @4BIM @XRebellionUK @mrsrowbotham And it is right that people are getting upset about every hedgerow or little copse of trees getting cut down... because it is the constant drip drip drip of destruction happening everywhere.... that is adding up to huge scale environmental wreak and ruin
