The traditional counties are 92 historic subdivisions of the United Kingdom. They are also known as the ancient or geographical counties. The historic counties have existed over 1,000 years in some cases, many centuries in others. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #RealCounties 🇬🇧

Happy Federation Day, Australia! 🇦🇺 The 1st of January marks the anniversary of Australia’s federation, when the six colonies united to become the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. A moment in history that shaped the greatest national on earth. #Australia #Auspol

A new month and a new year means it's time to take a first look at our 2025 calendar 🐶🐾 Starting us off in the best possible way is the wonderful hearing dog Angus, who has been changing Claire's life ever since they were partnered together seven years ago.

A special someone was keen to meet you 😍🐾 This is cocker spaniel puppy Rylie, who has just started her early hearing dog training. First up for Rylie is learning her basic cues like this lovely sit and wait, investigating new objects, and having as much fun as possible!
