Just an update!!! As many don’t see my posts anymore, Ollies hair is falling out from the chemo and he’s self conscious now so I shaved my head so he knows it’s all ok and we have raised $224,921 for him so far in 11 days across my social media platforms Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube from legends all around the world for his life saving treatment that costs $500k and his family needing support. Thankyou everyone for all your support. I had the choice to do this with my hair , little Ollie didn’t. I use my platforms everynow and then to raise money for someone because not everything is about lawns and gardens, this is real life, real people struggling and I will happily use my platforms to help someone if I can . You are all the best legends one could ask for 💙💙 Thankyou everyone who has donated, shared , liked or commented because it all helps this little boy. SHARING this video all around the world helps just as much

Looking forward to this….

Get ready for a spectacular cosmic light show! 🌌

✨ The Perseid Meteor Shower is peaking, and we might just see some "Rainbow Meteors" lighting up the night sky! ☄️🌈

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, Aug 11th - Wednesday, Aug 12th. The Perseids are known as one of the best and brightest meteor showers of the year, but did you know that meteors can actually glow in different colors?

The stunning colors you see aren't just for show—they tell us exactly what these space rocks are made of as they burn up in our atmosphere! 🚀

Here is the cosmic chemistry behind the colors:

🔴 Oxygen/Nitrogen: Red

🟡 Iron: Yellow

🟣 Calcium: Purple

🟠 Sodium: Orange

🟢 Magnesium: Blue/Green

Tips for viewing:
Find a dark spot away from city lights, lie back, give your eyes about 30 minutes to adjust to the dark, and look up! No telescopes needed. 🔭❌

📌 A total solar eclipse, a meteor shower peak, and a rare 6-planet alignment all happening on August 13, 2026! 🌌 Watch the full video to experience the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MBP6o92UU

With spring just around the corner, there’s been lots of platypus sightings this last week.

During the breeding season, the female retreats into a deep nesting burrow to lay and incubate one to three eggs for about 10 days. The young puggles hatch blind and hairless, and feed on milk excreted directly onto the mother's skin for three to four months before venturing out on their own.

Thanks to the young camper for sharing this footage.

Big shout out to our lovely neighbour, Trish, for bring her two week old baby goats down for cuddles. They were a big hit!
