As a child, I loved digging in the dirt and discovering all sorts of stones and shells. I never lost my fascination for fossils, bones, stones, plants or anything having to do with our planet. Our planet is a gift and we must protect it at all costs. #planet #nature #bivalve #fossil #fossils

Does anyone else's cat do this? Merlin suckles a blanket while making biscuits and purring. It's cute, but also makes me sad - like he was taken away from his mother too soon? (We adopted him from the streets as an adult cat, so no idea if this is true). Cat expertise is welcomed!
Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170M building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night. Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.
