Andrew Doyle Thank you Andrew

Here's a little update on dear baby Miller. As you can see he was so weak on arrival, and his gait is laboured and painful. He struggles to walk on his enfeebled little legs and has to stop for a rest every few steps. Miller was very lucky that he was spotted in time, before

Please don't make tonight the night you'll regret for the rest of your life. Unlike most mammals, hedgehogs don't have the Fight or Flight Response to danger. That means that no matter how frightened they are, they don't bite, and they don't run away. Their response to

Autumn is a season that wants us to slow down and take stock, don't you think? It's there in the soft mist that wraps itself about the trees, in the dampness that drip - drip - drips hypnotically from the branches. Even the air feels thicker than normal, harder to rush through,

Oh COME ON!!!!!! FFS…🙄🤦🏻 This is OUT OF CONTROL! Standing with Martine Croxall all the way!

When the world seems a bit too loud and fast and full, I think it helps to remember that places like Milldale still exist, where the cottages huddle together in the hills, where the River Dove sparkles at the end of the lane, and where there are often more ducks than people.

Some days it's hard to imagine there's any humanity left in the world, but please never give up hope. Every day I am reminded that there are good kind people brimming with generosity of spirit, who help without being asked, and without expecting fanfare. Good works tend to be

Could you imagine telling anyone 20yrs ago any middle aged bloke who likes to put on a dress, wig or make up would be given unfettered access to changing rooms & sport (where women & young girls are undressed), simply because he says he feels like a woman. Regardless of the fact

I visit this wonderful tree often to admire her in all seasons and weathers and lights, but to my mind she shows off her true beauty in winter. Stripped of her summer fripperies, you can see every knot and whorl of her trunk, each line and bruise, the story of her long life

I spotted this overgrown blocked drain yesterday on a busy main road. I went back this morning and dug it all out, under the soil turf and litter it ran freely. Much better now

One of the many things I love about this part of the world is how the past never seems very far away, with time slips around every corner. I must admit to a little 'pinch me' moment when I saw this view at the canal basin in Whaley Bridge; it felt like I’d suddenly tumbled back

Expert tunneller and would-be escape artist Hardy had his heart's desire last night and returned to the wild a free healthy boy. The lovely lady who provided Hardy with a home and a wonderful open wild garden also took sweet Bronte, who was a lot happier than her admission photo

I may not be very popular for pointing this out but ... there are only 10 days until Christmas! 🫣 I don't know about you but I'm finding it hard to get into the festive spirit this year, and the dreary weather isn't helping much either. So I thought I'd do a Top 10 Countdown to

As you’re fighting to remove our daughters’ rights to the privacy and safety of single-sex bathrooms and changing rooms, while poised to allow the unethical puberty blockers trial, perhaps children should be protected from The Labour Party.

Just 1 day to go until Christmas in my Top 10 Christmas Countdown, where I'm sharing one of my own favourite Peak District festive photos every day until the big day. This was one of the first photographs I ever shared on social media, taken more years ago than I care to

Every so often I like to share a ‘living’ photograph, so that you can hear and hopefully feel the peace of the scene, as well as see it. This was my view this morning, and I honestly never wanted to leave. If you need 15 seconds of beauty today, turn your sound up and watch the

6 bags collected today in Aldridge Town centre yesterday. First big clean up of 2026 since New Year celebrations. All the expected mess, drink, takeaways, party balloons & decor/clothing. Worth doing #litterattractslitter #onemillionbags

If you regularly feed the hedgehogs visiting your garden, first of all thank you for your kindness and generosity - you are a life saver. But sooner or later you will have a visitor who is sick and needs taking to a wildlife rescue (never a vet) for treatment. Because the need is

I can still recall this walk through the ancient oak woodland of Padley Gorge, and I think I always will. The mossy rocks and last year's fallen leaves were scattered with remnants of frost, and a milky sunlight drifted down through the twisted trees, seeming to slide to the

These courageous women stand for truth and dignity and they fight for women's rights. The @NHS should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for the persecution of these nurses - oh and they use our tax money to do their dirty work. Bridget Phillipson Wes Streeting hang your heads
