2021’s winner

Homeward Bound by Haydn Canter

Haydn Canter used to paint with his left hand and didnā€™t think he would ever paint again following his stroke. He was inspired by a local beauty spot in a park where he used to go to enjoy a snack with his dog. The rest comes from his love of winter.

You can purchase a pack of 10 of Haydn’s cards from the Stroke Association’s Christmas shop for Ā£4.49 HERE.

Post To Recycle Rubber Bands

Acknowledged as biodegradeable, Royal Mail states the natural rubber content in a rubber band means that they will start to biodegrade in an outdoor environment within a year and this, we are told helps to minimise their impact on the environment. However, Rubber bands take up to 50 years to fully biodegrade and can be incredibly harmful to the environment. If burned they release carcinogenic pollution into the atmosphere.

Royal Mail, and the Trade Unions CWU and Unite/CMA recognise that discarded elastic bands that litter the ground, present a public nuisance, an eyesore and a threat to wildlife and pets, as well as representing a needless expense. Every year, Royal Mail uses around 338 tonnes of elastic bands to keep bundles of mail together.

You can now post any rubber bands you see or find directly into any post box and they will be recycled by the Royal Mail.

Every little helps…

Peak Of The Perseid Meteor Shower

The New Moon on Sunday, 8th guarantees a dark sky in which to view shooting stars – providing there are no clouds.Ā  These are the Perseids and they began last month, becoming increasingly bright each night until their peak on 11th/12th/13th August.

The Perseid meteor shower is one of the brightest showers in the celestial calendar, with up to 100 shooting starts an hour to be seen if youā€™re in the Northern hemisphere. You should be able to see the Perseid meteor shower at around 12am (midnight) UK time to 5.30am. Look North East

Love is LoveIn Ancient Greek star lore, Perseus (slayer of the Gorgon Medusa) was the son of the god Zeus and the mortal DanaĆ«. It is said that the Perseid shower commemorates the time when Zeus visited DanaĆ«, the mother of Perseus, in a shower of gold., in a shower of gold šŸ™‚
The chief characters in the Perseus legend, Perseus, Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Andromeda, and the sea monster (Cetus), all figure in the night sky as constellations.
The Perseid meteor shower gets its name as it appears to come out of the constellation Perseus.
