Walks coming up

 

Tomorrow, Saturday 15th February 2025, i`ll be involved with another `Walk with a Warden` at WWT Llanelli, Penclacwydd. 

If anyone wishes to come along, we meet inside the Centre in the reception area at 11.30am, and go out for about an hour and a half. Come prepared for the weather, with good footwear, ie boots!. (Admission charges or membership card entry applies).

Very soon the annual Dawn Chorus walks should be confirmed. This is a popular and well attended event, and for the second year running we are hoping to do this over two consecutive days. 

Details should be published on the WWT Llanelli website and facebook page very soon.

LEAVING `X` (fly Twitter)

 


Many of you know that I have always had a love/hate relationship with social media, and a couple of times thought about leaving facebook behind. However, i`ve stuck with it so far and intend to do so for the foreseeable future.

Prior to facebook I was already using my Twitter account frequently, and yes it did reach a decent audience. Through the use of twitter I made some great new contacts too, but since the change to X, and the massive upheaval to the way it is run, the audience has declined considerably, and there has been a significant increase in unwanted Musk and Trump propaganda.

I`ve always tried to keep out of politics, everyone is entitled to their own views, but sometimes you have to speak out or at least do something to say when things are wrong. It`s along those lies that I feel I can no longer use or support "X", owned by the richest and currently one of the most influential people in the world, who, along with Donald Trump, are marginalising some of the poorest and most vulnerable in society. 

What we are seeing is a true horror story in the making, and although this is not a platform for my feelings, I would be wrong to continue to support Musks` X business empire, which is making him even richer when the poor are getting poorer.

I haven`t deleted my twitter account yet, but I will no longer be posting on it. 

Thank you to all those twitter followers, most of which probably don`t know I exist anymore anyway!

For those that have my twitter (X) link on the back of my last business card, please use the facebook or other links to contact me in the future. 

Thank you.




PS: I`ve no intention of being `trolled` (i`ve been "stalked" and trolled in the past!), so i`ve limited my very strong views.
