A big year for beavers 🦫
From supporting the first wild beaver release in England to expanding our education programme. 2025 has been a year of real progress
These steps bring us closer to restoring Britain's beaver population.
Thank you to all our supporters, we couldn’t do this without you

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Great piece from Ian. You won’t get attacked by Nazis here, but there’s a good chance you might be trampled to death by a High Horse. Yet for all that it’s still a place and people I call my own.

Thank God for Bluesky
Yes, it's eager. Yes, it's censorious. But it has the very considerable advantage of not being fascist.

You email saying you can't get hold of me and are cancelling my order, then on the phone you try to dissuade me from completing the order.. just checking this has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the price 'correction' you've just put up on the website? Nothing at all? Total coinkydink.

Everyone needs to be calling out Trump’s extreme racism all of the time.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I hate to be the bearer or moderately worrying news, however it's 1405. You still have time to get to the shops, you can still make this #stirupsunday happen. It's ok to use pre-booze soaked fruit from the shop. Our cakes are in the oven and the apple cider brandy is still ridiculous.
