incredible things are happening in winchester

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

This is actual leadership 🤩

I made an insect hotel today and someone has already moved in, so it must be okay. Tried to make the central piece look like a rose bloom. #insecthotel #uknature #conservation

Dartford warbler stages a comeback 60 years after almost vanishing | Birds | The Guardian share.google/CGF6buJY4EwM... Hooray!!! Another beautiful bird species is increasing in numbers after careful habitat management. Nature reserves work! #rspb

While you’re struggling with rising energy bills, the numbers tell a story. Energy companies have posted £26.2 billion in profits in Q1 2026, around £102 extracted from every UK household in just three months. From July, your bills will rise by another £201 a year.

Now that's what I call positive transition!!! #actonclimate #offshorewind #ukenergytransition

@davegoulson.bsky.social has inspired me so much with his YouTube videos about bees. I'm learning so much by observing them. Here's what I think is a Leaf Cutter Bee packing her eggs into an insect hotel with carefully cut leaf circles. She's been busy for a whole two hours. #ukbees #beescrolling

Next, let's see the River Meon, River Itchen and River Test recognised in the same way.

Morning brushies are the best! #catsofturkey #caturday

Ruddy hell look at this. 71.5% renewables Solar 12.89 38.4% Wind 11.00 32.8% Hydroelectric 0.10 0.3% 71.5% of all the electricity being used right now in the UK is from Renewables.

A sensory explosion visiting the Walled Garden at the Knepp Estate, West Sussex today. Really beautiful wild planting. The more your eyes adjusted, the more you noticed. Beautiful, thick birdsong and gorgeous, rich scents of plants I've never seen. Pure magic! #knepp #wildgarden #ukgarden #rewilding

A message to Keir Starmer ahead of the King's Speech.

Nothing sticks on Farage. If he fell into a gigantic consignment of velcro he'd just roll on out the other side.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Fantastic visit to Upton Grey Manor House today to see the beautifully restored Gertrude Jekyll garden! Gorgeous wafts of planting and clever use of Stachys byzantina as edging. #gertrudejekyll #artsandcrafts #uptongrey #ukgardens #gardendesign

Celebrating Dorset sculptor, Mary Spencer Watson today, a lady I was honoured to meet in January 2006, at her home, Dunshay Manor, not long before she passed away. A spellbinding artist living in a magical place. It would have been her birthday today. Dunshay Manor share.google/GvMPLCPSmCMx...

I watched My Garden of a Thousand Bees last night and was blown away by the intelligence and personality of bee species. Checked my bee hotel today and several apartments are already full of bee babies!! 😍 share.google/UU11DLdImfeH... #bees #thousandbees #secretgarden #naturegarden

Cynara cardunculus thriving at Hinton Ampner, Hampshire. Beautiful leaves on this one. Cynara cardunculus is being developed as a new bioenergy crop in the Mediterranean because of its high biomass and seed oil yields even under harsh conditions. #cynara #gardening #artichoke #cardoon

Bert has a tweed bowtie collar with a bell since today to give nature a warning when he's nearby. He's taken to it like a trooper. Well done Bert! #caturday

Bert waiting for his bedtime snack. He knows they're in the nightstand draw. Once he's had his snack, he sits outside the bedroom door guarding us until he thinks we're asleep, then he jumps on to the bed to settle himself down with us. My hero. #cats #caturday #tabbycats

Well that's my evening homework done. 60 Rudbeckia seedlings, 40 Verbascum seedlings, 40 Red Sorrel seedlings and 15 Asclepias tuberosa and some Wild Marjoram. #ukgardening #seedlings #gardening #peatfree #ukgrowers #horticulture #bees #pollinatorplants

Clean energy generation exceeded rise in global electricity demand in 2025. When you think about it, it's mad we didn't do solar gen much earlier. It's a no brainer! share.google/o7aMcrvtcvLe...

@networkrail.bsky.social Anger as swifts’ nesting holes in Derbyshire rail viaduct ‘blocked up’ | Birds | The Guardian share.google/nR7vkmQKgpeJ... What are YOU going to do to immediately rectify this before yet more swifts stop breeding, or worse, die? #swifts #swiftnests

I'm in awe of Dame Maggie Aderin as she talks about Artemis II! She is so inspiring to a whole new generation of young women physicists! #bbcnewsnight #maggieaderin #damemaggie #physics

"“It’s utterly heartbreaking,” said Deb Pitman, a swift campaigner. “Seeing footage of what happens when swifts return to a blocked nest is deeply upsetting. They repeatedly try to access their entry point, sometimes with fatal consequences." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Clean, safe, cheap, renewable energy that you don't have to fight deadly wars or destroy the environment to get. Good for wildlife, too, when done properly. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I feel like everyone needs a lovely photo of my four year old cat, Bertie. He's had a tough day listening to a visiting dog howling in the next door neighbour's garden but he's had a big dinner and is now on mouse watch duties outside this evening. #catsofbluesky #britishcats

I have been thoroughly restored in my soul by the calm professionalism of the Artemis II crew. They remind me that even when you're over 250,000 miles from Earth, you can be anchored, and grounded, by a strong sense of humanity and togetherness. Beautiful. #artemisII #artemis2 #nasa

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda: The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

American money is pouring into the UK to roll back LGBT and women’s rights – and Nigel Farage is on board: https://goodlaw.social/wsee

The great thing about solar energy is that nobody starts wars to control it. #EnergyRevolution

10.25 AM. UK National Grid is currently whacking out 65.8% output by wind alone, solar another 23.3%. We are generating 114% of our demand & exporting 10% (4.7GW) to Europe & also replenish our pumped storage supply - using 4%. Fossil fuel is only generating 7.9% of output. #renewables #windpower

Parents who complain that if their kids didn't have screen time they'd never get anything done. Hello! I'm a child from the 1980s who grew up with books, cats, a garden and a bike and my mum got a shit ton of stuff done because me and my sis were occupied! #screentime

Reform UK really do inspire community action in the most unexpected ways.

I'm smiling so hard watching @carolinelucas.bsky.social smash through the half-baked ramblings of some Conservative delulu and a Brylcream'd Reform toff on BBC Question Time. The lady is a legend! #greenpartyuk @greenparty.org.uk
