Don't worry if you didn't get the GCSE results you hoped for. You're on Twitter, which means you're old and it happened ages ago.

Wow 3.6 million people listening to me talking 💩
This isn't really a story about cocaine although it catches the headlines. It is a story about clean water for human and ecosystem health. Lets make our water cleaner for our children, grandchildren and the planet. 👊 #soapbox

Last week the Solent Seagrass Champion volunteers sorted & counted a grand total of 3,300 seeds for @HantsIWWildlife!
The seeds are stored in a chilling system over the winter months to be planted in Spring, with better conditions for seedling growth🌱

A beautiful morning in Langstone Harbour. This is the view clear across the harbour from Southmoor Lane in Havant, over the saltmarsh islands of the @RSPBEngland reserve & onto Eastney (incuding @UoPMarineBiol). Beyond the Solent, in the background, the Isle of Wight rises.
