I just love how Black-capped Chickadees can look so expressive. Yes, I know this little dude was not actually feeling contemplative, but look at its little face!

But the experience was particularly frustrating for Dr. Hanwell, an epidemiologist who says that improving the air quality in schools would help reduce the spread of contagious respiratory illnesses.

Black and white photograph of an ornate iron footbridge with decorative lattice work spanning a calm canal or river. The Victorian-era bridge features elegant curved arches and detailed metalwork railings. Bare winter trees line both banks, their branches creating intricate patterns against a dramatic cloudy sky. The bridge and surrounding landscape are perfectly reflected in the still water below, creating a mirror image. The scene has a peaceful, timeless quality typical of English countryside waterways

✊ We were out speaking to residents in Hanwell today!

💚 Lots of positive conversations with residents fed up of the Labour-led council and wanting genuine representation by councillors who would put their needs first.

Make hope normal again.
