A polite request to any homeowner planning extension work: please do consider designing-in e.g. bird boxes, bee bricks, bat boxes. The expense of such integrated features should be slight against the overall investment &, when there is success, you have great satisfaction & joy!

Happy Mothers Day to all you Mums and thinking of the ones that are no longer with us. This was my Mums favourite flower - Forget-Me-Not or Myosotis. She loved gardening and inspired me with her love of nature. Miss you ❤️ #MothersDay #forgetmenot

Quite convenient isn't it? Southern Water can't be tagged into photos! In my work, I walk along roads & look at trees, occasionally looking over bridges & this is what I often see (Westfield, E Sussex). This looks like pollution on a gross scale, am I right, or is this normal?
