Although it is bitterly cold & frosty, frogs are still out there. They brumate in ponds, compost heaps, or under logs, emerging on unusually warm days to search for food or somewhere to breed. 📷 Frog in snow, (2020) Available at: ow.ly/fxSU50UFgRh [Accessed: 11/01/25]

Hello - we've popped over to the other place (as Bluesky seems to be referred to...). If you are exploring a bluer future, follow us @bostse1.bsky.social. We'll be sharing images of gardens (this is Octavia Hill's Red Cross Garden), news of events/training/volunteering in #London

Today we remember and are grateful for our green spaces that give us somewhere to reflect and give thanks. #RedCrossGarden, founded by Octavia Hill in 1886, and home of the 1st independent Army Cadet Battalion.

Trustees bring their unique talents to the role. We appreciate their support and input and celebrate our wonderful trustees. Today they are a reminder of the good in the world. #TrusteesWeek
