...because one early morning Beaver spotting trip isn't quite enough, we went again today. Lots of activity in and out of the water, we were really lucky to see them so active.

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

Sorry to hear Anna is having to cease trading. Her artwork is superb and she still has stock remaining, so do take a look.
Morning all. I’ve done lots of thinking this week & decided I don’t think I can carry on with my business anymore. It’s always been hard, but it’s so much harder to keep my head above water now which is not only bad for me mentally, it’s affecting my physical health too (1/4)

“We’re dealing with a President who is a narcissist and a bully… a rebuke of some kind is necessary” Broadcaster and journalist David Dimbleby says a US State Visit by King Charles “is a misuse of the King” and the UK is “giving Trump more than he deserves”. #Newsnight

On Good Friday I will participate in a walk of witness, across the sands to Holy Island with a full-size cross. The walk will start and finish with public prayer. On Easter Saturday at sunset we will hold a vigil service on the Holy Island beach. And on Easter Sunday we will parade the cross, decorated with flowers, through the streets of Holy Island, stopping at intervals to pray. Do you think these exhibitions of public prayer should be banned, @benhabib6 @NJ_Timothy @SarahForRuncorn @KemiBadenoch? Or is it only Muslims you want banned from praying publicly?

Norway - sells oil & gas, but uses electricity mainly from renewables. 97% of new cars are electric and heat pumps are main source of heating. They're barely affected by what's happening in Iran. Their electricity costs going up 17%, ours going up 60% because we are so much more dependent on gas.
