🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

I'm a big city girl originally, so small town social structures are strange for me at times- but what I love about small town is that you find animals everywhere - cat roaming, sheep behind the supermarket, goats over there, birds over here.

This is called 'M Class' and this is the final version.

I'm re-learning to roller skate in my 50's. It's such fun, and AMAZING leg workout.
