It’s a mystery! 🔍
Stunning stone structures have been popping up on Lake District mountains, but no one seems to know who's built them...
We caught up with Carl Halliday who took this amazing photo. He chatted about how it happened, the amazing reaction there's been, and how he'd love to sit down for a beer with whoever made it! 🍻📷 Listen here: 👇

Don't throw that empty tissue box away! Consider repurposing it with one of these ideas instead:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💡 Use an empty tissue box to store your plastic grocery bags. There’s even a way to make them pop up just like tissues! 🤧 Slide the bottom of each bag into the handles of the next bag, then insert them all into the box.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💡 Use an empty tissue box as a tiny trash receptacle on your bathroom counter! It’s the perfect place to toss out cotton swabs, cotton pads, and other single-use cosmetic items.⁣ You can also put one on your desk, your living room coffee table, or in your car (it's perfect for collecting food wrappers)! 🍬⁣
⁣⁣
💡 Cut the tops off a few old tissue boxes and use them as drawer dividers. They can help keep smaller stuff organized instead of rolling around in your drawer. 🙌⁣⁣
⁣
How do you repurpose your empty boxes?

🌳🌲 We’ll be carrying out essential tree harvesting operations in Llanwynno forest in Rhondda Cynon Taff over the next few weeks.

Unfortunately, we will need to close the forest car park to the north-east of Llanwonno on 6 April for about four weeks.

If you visit the area, please follow any closure or diversion signs and stay safe.

You can recycle aluminium foil but you can only do that if there is enough for the recycling processing machines to identify it and separate it.
So save your foil and when you've got a ball the size of a tennis ball or bigger, then put it in the recycling.

Assuming you can recycle it. Check first.

#LoveWhereYouLive Ynysybwl and its surrounding areas of Glyncoch and Abercynon have seen an increase in people wishing to litter pick, Ynysybwl Community Council are looking for local people to join your community to clean up your area please contact [email protected]
