Two ridiculously badly braided bunches of garlic hanging from a wooden beam, looking like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards after being used in a game of football.

Absolutely awful.

This summer brought an abundance of butterflies and birds. Nature is ready to spring back – if we let it | Patrick Barkham The recent hopeful surge of some wildlife isn’t down to us. But in an era of climatic decline, it shows the resilience of our fellow species, says Guardian nature writer Patrick Barkham

Powerful piece by @patrickbarkham.bsky.social

"...Biodiversity graphs still point down. But this sunny year reveals a profoundly hopeful tendency in our fellow species: open the door a tiny crack to animals, plants and fungi and they will stampede through it."

Whisper it, but maybe part of the reason Amazon has been so successful is that they deliver quickly, whereas when you order something from eBay, it's delivered by Evri, a week late, to a hollow in a tree four miles away.

A close-up image of a small, scruffy black and brown puppy sleeping peacefully with its head resting on me. The pup's fur is slightly wavy, and its shiny black nose is prominent. The background shows a warm-toned wooden floor.

A grey Monday, and after a rubbish night's sleep the puppy looks how I feel.
