As the schools break up and people start heading out on their adventures - both at home, and abroad - we wanted to remind you of our postcards initiative, . By sending a postcard to our residents you can help to connect them to the rest of the world, while encouraging conversations about past holidays and reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. We first requested your cards seven years ago, and every single one brightens our day no end. You can send your cards to The Residents, Redmount Residential Home, 21 Old Totnes Road, Buckfastleigh, Devon TQ11 0BY - please share this post to encourage your friends and loved ones to do the same. We really do love to hear what you're up to over the summer

Here's what we're up to for the rest of the week. Do you see anything that takes your fancy?!

This year's Big Butterfly Count is here, and it's more important than ever with rapidly declining butterfly numbers. Sign up, join in and do you bit for citizen science!

The Big Butterfly Count 2025 is here and butterflies need our help! 🦋🚨

Butterflies are indicators of a healthy natural environment, but they are in trouble.

Last year, we declared a Butterfly Emergency after results revealed a marked and deeply concerning decline in butterfly numbers, the lowest in the Count’s history.

That’s why this year, we’re not just launching a survey, we’re launching a nationwide rescue mission, and we need everyone to get involved.

No lab coats. No science degrees. Just 15 minutes of your time. ⏱️

Get out for the count 👉 bigbutterflycount.org
