A tiny posy of wildflowers — campion, yarrow and strawberry — gathered into a little vase fashioned from a poppy seed head. Shining a small wildflower light into my studio… so precious at this time of year. #WildflowerHour

Rainy November days can dampen the spirit, can’t they? I find myself missing Jack Frost and his spiky, sparkling ways — but until he returns, here are a few wild fairytale words to help lift the clouds. Me, reading from Nature’s Advent Calendar on the fairy house doorstep.

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 226 #Bumblebees use their antennae for social interaction within the colony. Touching antennae with other bees transfers chemical information which allows them to familiarise themselves with the other #bees in the colony. #nature

When kitchen sponges like these break down, they release microplastics that end up in the sea – harming marine environments and the animals that live there. And they can't be recycled, so remain in landfill for 100s of years. For eco-friendly sponges see: https://t.co/iu4wCQmNJy

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #Planning bill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇
⚠️Planning bill update ⚠️ as expected Labour was whipped into voting down every amendment that would protect nature from this bill. They rejected the most basic fluffing protections for endangered species. They even rejected saving chalk streams! Now it goes back to the Lords
