I flew!"NB: If I could choose active travel, I would, but chronic conditions limit my mobility.

It's also called 'a foxes wedding' or 'a jackals wedding', mainly in India and Japan respectively.Its proper name is 'sunshower' which is a bit obvious.Bring on the celebrating animals!Do you have a local or favourite term?

Catherine Rowan Jones/Ivy FoxDay 1 of <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/30DaysWild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaysWild</a>A very different view this time. So many different greens of tree species! This is from my hospital, where I have had my first total knee replacement <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/TKR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TKR</a> - I'm a step closer to walking in nature again 💚 Thank you <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/NHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NHS</a> 💙
