The #Shropshire Star just rejected a comment in which I called Farage a charlatan.

Some people prefer lies to the truth.

Beavers were reintroduced to the River Clun in Shropshire after 400 years. The Severn Rivers Trust hopes the pair will establish a colony, creating wetland habitats and mitigating flooding.

Bit of nightmare of a ride. 20 miles in puncture, 35 miles in annoying squeak starts, 50 miles in at cafe stop tried to adjust gears and screwed it up. Couldn't shift for the last 20 miles so had to get picked up #biketoot #biketooter #cycling #cheshire #shropshire

So much blossom on the pear tree outside the house, and so many bees! Very nice to see.

#NatureScot could intervene to cull a #Highland estate's red #deer, which are damaging environmentally important peat. The government won't name the absentee owners of #LochChoire Estate in #Sutherland, a #Shropshire-based company. However, because they have a history of non-cooperation I easily found them online. So why the secrecy?

Ms Morgan, I'm old enough to remember when towns had actual bank branches, not so-called banking hubs.
