This month we had 2 Best Underdog teams... the Lancaster Wildlife Champions and Stirling Squirrel Squad!
Their prizes: @FSCPublications T&S guides and a Mammals Poster from @riedesigned
These teams might not have made the top 3 but their efforts still deserve to be celebrated

🌟 Today on #FNDAwarenessDay, we stand in solidarity with the Functional Neurological Disorder community. While we've made significant strides in understanding and recognizing #FND, challenges remain in timely diagnosis, access to treatment, and awareness. Let's celebrate the progress, amplify voices, and continue to push for better care and support. Together, we're stronger. 💪

Well done @Channel4News for highlighting #MECFS
There have also been mentions of #LongCovid
But zero mention of the way #FND can ruin your life, cause physical issues, “it’s all in your head” philosophy, gaslighting, misinformation and more.
My daughter matters too.

A fun festive fingerstyle campanella Christmas carol! Try saying that after a couple of brandies!

Is this the most soothing version of Frère Jacques ever played on ukulele? I'll leave that up to you to decide!
This is the 2nd in my series of Ukulele Lullabies; played in bell-like campanella style for extra serenity.

If bumblebees could vote, what would they ask governments to prioritise? 🤔
Our #BumblebeeManifesto gives bumblebees a political voice by bringing the key actions they need to the attention of political parties and voters 🐝

New surroundings = new music! 🎶🏡
Check out my original Celtic-inspired campanella piece, written in 6/8 time, as I celebrate moving from Galloway to my new home in Ayrshire! Sorry it's been so long!

This new arrangement of O Holy Night is one of a series of Campanella Christmas Carols for Ukulele. Each string is left to ring longer which gives a lovely rich sound but takes twice as long to arrange!

A beautiful song that was a big hit 30 years ago. My 10yr old self found the video a bit creepy though, so I recorded an instrumental cover just in time for Halloween! I hope you like what I did with it 🙂 youtu.be/eHbwPXiO0Og #ukulele #halloweenukulele #shakespearssister

Here's a cheeky little sea shanty ⚓️🎶(an adaptation of #Wellerman) about #SuellaBraverman - we were sad to see her go, because we had to make this much quicker than we anticipated...
