Loved the #UKpremiere of #WILDthemusical at @Rosetheatre - part of @FUSE_IntFest. It starred the #CityChamberOrchestraofHongKong The costumes were amazing, it was colourful and fun. The story is about two poachers who encounter a Wild Orchestra in the jungle! 🤩🐆🦏🐘🦍🐅

It makes sense to me to keep my money local so rather than buy from online giants I use my #KingstonPounds to #supportlocal stores. This way I know that my money is circulating around the #RoyalboroughofKingston @kingstonpound @B00M_CB 💙💚😊

Q: Where do people ski down a high street with a rocket attached to their back and bobsleigh in a bath? ⛷🏂🚀 A: #Surbiton of course! 😁 Thanks to the Community Brain for bringing back #SurbitonSkiSunday @communitybrain and to Robin for this witty compering @LordScroley 💚

🗣 #InMyOpinion: @ChrisGPackham says we’re consuming too much ‘stuff’ and we shouldn't prioritise growth over the environment. 📈🌳 'We are wasting too much, the earth is a small planet and we need to make sure its resources are not squandered' ⁉️ What do you think?

Yup. That’s about the size of our criminally polluted & mismanaged country.

Very worrying to see so many local ponds and rivers that are normally home to wildlife have now dried up in the #Heatwave2022! 😱 Let's #Hopeforrain soon! I took these photos in #FishpondsPark #Surbiton today Where have the fish and ducks gone? 🐟🦆☹

A friend walked round my garden and told me to spray all my plants because they are being eaten. Nooo way I said, because a garden without insects is a garden without an #ecosystem 🐛🦋🐝🪲🐞 @TheMontyDon @GWandShows
