“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” – A. A. Milne As we mark the 100th anniversary of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories, The Queen has presented a very special gift to the New York Public Library, reuniting baby Roo with his friends from the 100 Acre Wood. The Library is home to the original collection of toys owned by Christopher Robin Milne, son of A.A. Milne, which inspired the characters in the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series. The collection is missing Roo, the baby kangaroo who was lost in an orchard in the 1930s. The new addition of Roo was created by Shropshire-based company Merrythought, who also created the original toys. 👀 Watch Roo’s great adventure travelling from Buckingham Palace onboard Their Majesties’ flight to his new home in New York.

🎉♻️ It’s the Great Cable Challenge! ♻️🎉 Who says recycling has to be boring? These two are proving it can be electrifyingly good fun ⚡ We’re proud to be part of The Great Cable Challenge for International E-Waste Day – helping Sheffield stay wired for good! 💙 🔌 Got a drawer full of tangled old cables? Don’t bin them – bring them to Aspire Sheffield and we’ll recycle them properly. Every lead, charger and wire contains valuable copper just waiting for a new life. 🏅 Copper keeps our world connected – from phones and transport to clean energy and healthcare. It’s 100% recyclable, and reusing it takes up to 85% less energy than mining new copper. With demand rising and resources becoming harder to find, the answer’s simple: let’s make the most of what we’ve already got. 🌎 So, go on – untangle that drawer, give your old cables one last spin, and help us power a greener future! ⚡💪 #GreatCableChallenge #InternationalEWasteDay #RecycleYourElectricals #AspireSheffield #WiredForGood #CopperCounts #RecyclingCanBeFun
