The rainbow bridge was buzzing Animals stood in l

The rainbow bridge was buzzing
Animals stood in line
From elderly sheep, to mangy dogs
They knew this was the time.
This wonderful man with a heart of gold
Spent his spare time saving them all
Salvaged from slaughter and saved from hell
He was the one to call.
His compassion was endless, he wanted them all
To take every one for his own
He cried at the cruelty, held them all tight
Many he took to his home.
His talent for comedy was world renowned
His quick, dry humour, was his gift
Accompanied by Buster, his love of dogs was clear
As every episode was full of mirth filled wit.
His silent love was Battersea, where he helped behind the scenes
To help to find a home for every pet
Prime time schedules helped his cause, to find more loving homes
Became a favourite on our tv sets.
By now the field was full, as many more lined up
The clouds beginning to clear to let him through
Paul O Grady, gave a grin and opened wide his arms
“Come here, every single one of you!”

RIP Paul O Grady

Planning a few days in Edinburgh? One of our most

Planning a few days in Edinburgh? One of our most favourite places to visit ❤️

Here are some cool and fab things to do!

Explore the Royal Mile: This is the city's iconic and historic street, home to Edinburgh Castle, St Giles' Cathedral, and many other admirable buildings. You can wander down the Royal Mile, visiting historical attractions showcasing the city’s rich history.

Go on a ghost tour: Edinburgh is famous for its hauntingly spooky past, and you can take a guided ghost tour to explore the eerie corners of the city.

Visit the National Museum of Scotland: This museum is home to a wide range of fascinating exhibits, including ancient artefacts, interactive displays, and fascinating insights into the city's past.

Stroll the Botanic Gardens: The Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh is a lovely place to spend a serene afternoon, with trails for strolling, blooming landscapes, and an array of exotic and rare plants.

Climb Arthur's Seat: This historic hilltop peak is the highest point in Holyrood Park, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city below.

Indulge in Scottish cuisine: Try Scottish cuisine and some of Scotland's scrumptious dishes, such as Cullen Skink, haggis and neeps, shortbread or cranachan.

Hope these suggestions help plan your weekend in Edinburgh!

🌳 12,000 trees being planted in Amersham 🌳

🌳 12,000 trees being planted in Amersham 🌳

As part of their commitment to plant 540,000 trees in the county, @buckscouncil have planted 12,000 trees on a site overlooking the old town of Amersham at Bury Farm, on Gore Hill.

@gareth4cheshamandamersham Williams, Bucks Cabinet member for the environment and climate change, helped with the planting and said 'this is a great site, surrounded on three sides by existing woodland with a footpath next to it for people to enjoy these trees.

The species include Oak, Cherry and Beech and have been done in agreement with @forestryengland and the tenant farmer to ensure best value for the taxpayer. We are committed to planting a tree for every resident of the county and sites like this help us deliver on our promises.'

Trees play a vital role in soaking carbon from the atmosphere as well as provided habitat for wildlife and improving our natural heritage.

👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶 I contacted Tian

👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶

I contacted Tianni at @dreamalittledreambaby when my little boy was 5 months old, and I felt that I was in desperate need of some help. Otto would very rarely nap during the day, he would wake up every couple of hours in the evening, unable to settle himself and would often be wide awake from 4am. To say that I was sleep deprived and constantly on the edge would be an understatement......

We know how difficult it is to promote your busine

We know how difficult it is to promote your business when you are spending all of your time running your business so we have decided to put an EXCLUSIVE #SHOPLOCAL offer out for those that need a little marketing help.

Typically a digital agency would charge between £400 and £2000 per month for this package but for the majority of small businesses that spend is out of reach and as proud #SHOPLOCAL ambassadors we wanted to offer this at a vastly reduced rate!

Our package includes:
Social Media Analysis and Strategy for a year
Social Media PR for a year
Full page advert in Metroland Life Magazine for a year
Editorial in Metroland Life Magazine for a year
Promotion of Products and Services for a year
Monthly blog post (company focus, business owner focus, product focus, service focus) for a year!

EXCLUSIVELY to #SHOPLOCAL businesses the price is £125pm BUT for the month of MARCH you can get this for just £75pm! That is 6 adverts, 6 editorials, 12 blogs and a whole year of social media mentions. All in one easy low monthly payment.
Unfortunately we cannot help promote everyone as we are a small team but if this is of interest do drop us a message. We can only manage a maximum of 40 clients and we will only take one business from each sector.
Much love
Team Metroland xx
