So many lovely things to see when you make the effort to walk into town: a muntjac deer going for a paddle in the River Welland.

Thank you so much to whoever left these daffodils of kindness on a bench in Market Harborough. Brighter days are coming! @saimasaleh.bsky.social I’m sharing these with you.

Noticed these on my walk yesterday. Love the beauty in their fragile appearance, but the strength they must have in holding their shape in the winter.

This is terrible news. Having been on family history and then transferred to the national screening at 50, my consultant is concerned that my breast cancer developed after discharge from and before national screening started. Pleased that I had the courage to check it out and catch it when I did.

Always so lovely to put up our school tree as part of the Christmas Tree Festival at St Mary’s Church in Knighton. This year we decorated our tree to celebrate the many languages spoken in our school. If you’re in Leicester do visit the festival this weekend if you can.

Love an autumnal wander: Ferym woods. Intrigued by all the different shaped tree trunks.

It would be really useful and such a great opportunity to have your say! I’ll be lobbying at the #LabourConference on behalf of #NATRE this October and would love to speak to your local Labour MP about all that we need answers to! Here’s your chance!! πŸ˜Žβ€οΈπŸ‘πŸ½
