For anyone in the Plymouth area next Saturday 14th November this looks like a very worthwhile event, with climate march, open mic, rally and workshops.

Look who’s hiding in this Cornish Aromatic apple! The wasps are very good at getting rid of rotten fruit and are busy feasting at the moment. They’re also finding places to hibernate, as I discovered to my peril when moving a bunch of lavender in our garden room. (Top tip - bathing a wasp sting in c***r vinegar then holding a pack of frozen peas against the sting location for as long as possible works a treat).
I have to confess that despite their obvious downside, I do love wasps. Like all pollinators they are highly important to our natural world, and are excellent processors of decaying fruit.

Some ghastly Halloween finds on our today. The Haribo wrapper has lost its window of chance to ride in the high seas, unlike the Lego, which has probably been in the water for a couple of decades. The cap gun round looks like it’s been swimming for a while. The white piece of plastic under the BP lid is Fisher Price - so a part from a deceased toy; but what I have no idea.
There’s lots of rubbish on the shore at the moment, so do please take a bag to the beach and do all you can to avoid plastic getting into waterways by taking extra care when disposing of plastic rubbish.

It’s celebration time! We’re delighted to announce we received a gold certificate from Green Tourism - the top rating for sustainability within the tourism world. It’s all about team work so on Friday crib time we shared a green cake, with added homegrown walnuts of course.
We scored an impressive 84% and were praised for our commitment to our community and staff wellbeing. We all needed our Tai Chi session with Kath after all that sugar! A big thanks to our brilliant team; we feel so lucky.
