This #WorldAnimalDay, let’s reflect on the bond we share with all living beings. From the pets who bring us joy to the wildlife that sustains our planet’s balance, every life has value. By protecting habitats, supporting shelters, and making compassionate choices, we can build a kinder world where humans and animals thrive together.

Brambles fruit later in Scotland, did my picking and made a goodly amount of tasty cordial in my trusty Maslin pan. Here’s a wee video showing the colour these berries produce in addition to the beautiful aroma and flavour #brambles #blackberries #bramblecordial

Happy Friday to some lovely & kind followers. It's been a dreadful week for me with nasty threats from someone, so bad I had to report them to #police I hope that's the end of the menace!

If you see a swift like this. Pick it up, hold it up, and let it fly off. They can't take off from the ground or flat surfaces. RT this. It could save a swift.

I’ve been trying to rescue this dog for 4 months now. She was chained up alone while pregnant and used for breeding.

I called her Taylor Swift and this is the story of her rescue with her two beautiful puppies. You can never break the spirit of a dog… (1/8) 🧵
