Yesterday, Cornwall Council voted unanimously bar two abstentions to pass a statement of ‘no confidence’ in South West Water, and called for the company to be taken back under public control. The "milestone vote" is a result of a grassroots campaign called ‘Dowr Glan’ (Clean Water in Cornish).

The Tapestry is a gift which will go on giving! These 11c images have effortlessly taken to social media.
I saw on a post somewhere that there were Brigadier-Generals commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. I knew it to be wrong and suspected AI: so I asked it, this is the trail of replies received when I pointed out it was wrong. So much of human history content is driven by AI now.😞
The peace and relaxation you can find in nature is priceless and no price is too high to protect it. The way we treat nature is the way we treat ourselves. It is worth thinking about this, dear governments and decision-makers worldwide. We only have this one wonderful planet.💚
No #ClimbingPlants here but the #Shetland Northern Marsh orchids are still standing tall, as is the Cottongrass and Ragged Robin, and the wild thyme and Yarrow are out #WildflowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social @bsbiscotland.bsky.social @ukorchids.bsky.social
