Happy #SquirrelAppreciationDay! 🐿️ These busy diggers are forest gardeners, planting new trees every time they "forget" a cache.

For Taichung I went to see the "Rainbow Village", a series of houses painted by late Huang Yung-Fu, born 1924. He was from Guandong, a soldier with the republican government, and arrived to Taiwan during the retreat. The housing was the camp for such refugees as him, turned permanent residency.

RUTTE: Europe with UK, Turkey, Norway has over 500 million people. We're facing adversary in Russia with about 140 million people. And we're dependent on one ally with about 350 million people to ensure we can defend ourselves against Russia. That's not sustainable in long term.

”Protection officers see people do immoral things – Royals or politicians having affairs – but they’re not the moral police.” Questions continue around what MET officers witnessed when protecting Andrew. Is it an ‘astonishing’ claim to say they saw nothing?
