“We have now seen three of the five worst harvests on record this decade after extreme weather, telling a story of escalating #climate impacts that farmers are unable to cope with”. Tick. Tock. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Perfect reply.

King moldwarp rises! Moldwarp is the old Middle English name for a mole, it appears briefly in Shakespeare's Henry IV, discussing old Welsh stories "Of the moldwarp, and the ant, Of the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies".

Oh no! RIP Jane Goodall, such an inspiration. Many years ago I was lucky enough to visit Gombe where she did her groundbreaking research with chimpanzees and meet some of her staff & the chimps she worked with. Such a brilliant, intuitive, empathic mind lost to the world.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I hope we can have Beavers on our land one day. I fear we have too many of the 'hate 'em, shoot 'em' brigade here though ☹️ www.itv.com/news/westcou...

Quince & walnut season at the meadow now. Going to try making a quince liqueur this year!

We finished reroofing one of our field shelters this weekend & of course it's been blowing a hooley for the last 12 hrs. Putting off going over there to check how it's stood up! 😆 Also apologies due to the barn owls who often use it for daytime napping & food caching & may not be fans of skylights!

Just an hour and 20 minutes left to sign, people. If you haven't done so yet, it only takes a few seconds!

Seeing so many laugh emojis on news stories about migrants kids drowning in the channel FFS. Children. Drowning. These total empathy voids we have to share this country with are terrifying.

Lovely singing from Bramford Rabble at the reconsecration of Nettlestead church this afternoon.

Just. Wow.

Babe, new candidate for "most unfathomable spatial comparison" just dropped.

No love for Starmers govt. But these are the stats for the last week. No small boat arrivals..

Really enjoyed this episode, my partner comes from Morpeth & knows this farm, I’ve read all Mandas books, & the comments about having become thistle farmers made me laugh, so true! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

The size of these! Over achieving oak tree in our garden 😁

Lovely gig at Waldringfield looking out over the river, beautiful day for it.

I love this little tunnel into the blackthorn thicket at our meadow. Badger sized I reckon ...💚 #Suffolk #Wildlife

Um 😬

Scored some lovely Chicken of the Woods fungi from an old dead oak tree on my way home, tasty in white wine & thyme.

I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

Always wanted to try bulrush rhizomes (staple source of starch for many Indigenous people's). Had to take out a load from our pond as they were taking over, so took my chance & prepped some. Verdict: stringy but surprisingly tasty roasted 👍

“We’re here to talk about A levels” “Free Palestine the BBC is complicit” 💀💀

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Amongst those arrested in London for peacefully protesting the genocide in Gaza is this blind person in a wheelchair. Staggeringly embarrassing and shaming for Starmer. “Shame on you!” being shouted by the crowd. (🎥 Defend Our Juries)

Sickening.

Can never tell our barn owls apart, now I know there are still definitely two of them at least 😆 #Owls #SuffolkWildlife

Left had a cap like shiny leather & stained blue, middle had a white cap & stained blue, right had a brown cap didn't stain at all. #fungi

Finally got to give my sister the game board I designed & made for her favourite card game #Fungi Ok it's a bit of a niche gift but it solves one of the issues with the game mechanics we both had & it was fun to paint her fave fungi. #handmadegifts for the win! @pegasusspiele.bsky.social

Nature will always find a way.

The UK's Reform party, which is funded by the fossil fuel industry and denies basic climate science, is informing energy firms that it will terminate renewable energy contracts.

Poor moles are struggling with the drought baked earth I think. #naturespot
