This weekend as part of the Great UK Waterblitz with co-members of the local Green Party the results of completed testings are showing Winchesters Itchen as having a poor water quality which for a place gifted with chalkstreams is a bit gutting.

I dont know what to say but too many years of austerity and refusals to commit to change have left us with this.

Time for change.. really, please consider forcing whichever MP you are stuck with until the general election, consider saturating your council with Green representatives and let's get started advocating for our waterways as well as our neighbourhoods.
@ZackPolanski may be your national Green rep, but your local reps are your local neighbours. Email them, talk to them. Ask them the hard questions.

🎋"To be pure, what is that? Don't question yourself for long; come out, it's the silent #flowers that will tell you." Angelus #Silesius White wisteria, or #Wisteria floribunda Longissima Alba, is a variety of Japanese wisteria that symbolizes #purity, elegance, friendship and helpfulness. Fragrant and very delicate. A variety I was not familiar with and thoroughly enjoyed. 💮“Essere puri, che cos'è? Non t'interrogare a lungo; esci, sono i #fiori silenziosi che te lo diranno.” Angelus Silesius Il #glicine bianco, o Wisteria floribunda Longissima Alba, è una varietà di glicine giapponese che simboleggia #purezza, eleganza, amicizia e disponibilità. Profumatissimo e delicatissimo. Una varietà che non conoscevo e che ho apprezzato moltissimo.

In today's #naturewatch France, I was raking over the massive mole hills before letting the mower loose, and uncovered this character. It was a bit slow to dive into the grass, and as I'd narrowly avoided spearing it with a rake tine, I thought rehousing it was the better option. This gave me the opportunity to take some photos. It has been very warm recently, so I guess they must have come out to warm up, along with the other lizards. Anyway, it didn't seem to mind wrapping itself around the warmth of my hand, much obliged! I set it down in another long grass area of the garden, but now it has started raining, with a possibility of snow overnight, so I might not see one again for a while!

For a bit there, I thought it was going to rain — but that's Florida weather for you 🌦️. I've also been enjoying a spectacular butterfly show outside my windows these past couple of days 🦋🌼. I wish I had a butterfly cam 😄 It's really been something else!
