Itβs a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weβve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Our chimneys were blown down; and, as they say,
Lamentings heard i' the air; strange screams of death,
And prophesying with accents terrible
Of dire combustion and confused events" #ShakespeareSunday

These charming little waders sneak into wet meadows and bogs from northern Europe, bobbing up and down as they feed along the waterβs edge.
How's that for a Friday smile?

Tonight, the Harvest Moon rises: the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. π
Octoberβs full moon is also named the Hunterβs Moon, once marking a time to gather food for winter.
It will be the first of three supermoons this year, glowing bigger & brighter.
Moonrise: 19:44*

β’ Seamus Heaney β’
"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine." #Shakespeare #ShakespeareSunday,Β #MSND
While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act.
This makes no sense.
How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature?
That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.
