I have found my new favourite bird, the spotted nutcracker.

I love the feather pattern, it's so pretty!

My Orinoco backpack arrived a few days ago, and I love how accurate he looks! It was such a good deal off ebay too.

Only $70 or so dollars with free shipping + two 70s badges!!! Wombles merch is a nightmare to ship to Australia because shipping's usually around $20 AUD, so this was a steal!

He finally arrived!!! I've been thinking about how silly this Wombles car was for months, and now I own one haha

I expected the car to be the size of a Hot Wheels car, so I was pretty surprised at how big it actually ended up being.

Remembering #Wombles creator Elizabeth Beresford, born #OTD in 1926, photographed in the early 70s with animator Ivor Wood, Orinoco and Great Uncle Bulgaria. Photo recently returned to the @radiotimes.bsky.social archive 😍

Playing Place residents concerned over housing plans Villagers near Truro say an historic plain-an-gwarry will be impacted if homes are built next to it.

Plenys an gwari are unique to Cornwall - found nowhere else on Earth. They are integral to Cornish culture and language. Were such sites in England, and integral to English culture, it would be inconceivable that they could be impacted by development.

‘Character’
This wonderful ‘Womble’ made from dried flowers, was an amusing highlight at a recent flower show.

Today I learned that there was a CGI reboot of The Wombles made back in 2013 that got cancelled and is partially lost media.

The crazy thing is, the CGI and designs look so much better than the CGI reboot that we ended up getting. Tobermory even had his moustache!

He finally arrived in the mail! I can't wait for the 90s pin to show up later.

I bought this 70s Great Uncle Bulgaria pin off Ebay and man, it was not cheap. Shipping from the UK to Australia is so expensive, not to mention the awful exchange rates

I wish Wombles merchandise was more accessible :(

Man, I'm shivering in me timbers from *checks notes* someone wanting people to not be murdered en masse??? I swear, this sounds like a joke. How do people see basic compassion as intimidation? I'm so confused.

Filled in as best I can, unfortunately can't use the blue in the trans flag because it needs something called a droplet??

The Cornish chough vanished in 1973.

Gone from the cliffs. Gone from the skies.

Then in 2001 – 3 returned.

Now in 2025? 300+ wild choughs call Cornwall home again.

A local legend reborn. A real-world comeback. 🐦🔥

I updated my site for Cornish/Kernowek constellations, some of the names needed to have the spelling changed and a few were changed completely. The ones with significant changes are at the bottom of the page.

I hope everyone finds this useful!

I got these Great Uncle Bulgaria plushies a couple months ago and I love them. I plan on getting a Madame Cholet plush as well as some pins, although I can't find any Great Uncle Bulgaria ones sadly.

My beautiful son Ernie. I made him for learning Kernowek and I've had a lot of fun trying out stop motion.

I can't stop listening to this song, it's so good. I already liked Gwin ar C'Hallaoued (thank you Youtube recommendations), but this is sick.
