For all that #dementia takes away, there are joys to be found by living in the moment.

For Peat’s Sake - Join the campaign.

Of the 70,000ha of lowland raised bog in the UK, estimates suggest that only 3,800-8,000ha remain in pristine or near-natural condition. That’s just between 5% - 10% left. And with nearly 95% degraded or gone, restored peatland won’t be seen in our generation - or our children or grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren. It takes a whole year to create just 1mm of peat. #UK #CimateAction #Environment #PeatFreeCompost #Gardening

It is easy to become consumed by #stress and hard to find time for #selfcare. But preventing burnout is essential to sustaining and potentially improving our #caregiving for loved ones with #dementia.

Exhausted, angry, heartbroken: Postmasters react as horror of scandal laid bare

As the initial findings of the Post Office inquiry are released, sub-postmasters tell the BBC how they feel.

"Some numbers haven’t changed, though – the tally of people charged for ruining this many thousands of lives still stands at precisely zero."

The always excellent Marina Hyde on the lack of progress in the shameful Post Office debacle. She normaly takes a slightly detached-ironic approach to things, but here we can see her just seething at the extent of the injustice. And she is so right.

I’ve been trying to plan ahead for what green manures to use over autumn and winter. UK folk - what have you found works best for you, ideally in #nodig approaches? (Eg things that can be cut back or smothered rather than needing to be dug into the soil) #allotment #growyourown #gardening
