We've given £200,000 to help restore Folkestone’s @LeasLift funicular railway in Kent. 🎉
The grant will fund a replacement 8ft wide sheave wheel that is essential to move the passenger cars, so the lift can reopen to the public.

Beautiful sunny morning today with my 'Super Spotter' buddy, looking for butterflies (and orchids).
1 Grizzled Skipper on a pasque flower, and numerous Dingy Skippers were seen.

Oil and gas companies say they’re going green. Yesterday I looked through some of their accounts to see if it’s true.
In the first half of this year, 4 companies made £74.4bn and reinvested £3.4bn in low carbon energy. On average, that’s equivalent to 5% of their profits.
