To my Wyre Valley muck boots for years we have roamed together as one. From wading through pink krill-filled poo pools of Adélies in Antarctica to cowpats for Countryfile. Today we must sadly part before I feel something sticky again between my toes that also offends my nose💩🤢

Ticks may look like insects, but they're not. They are in fact part of the arachnid family. Here is our BBC Countryfile episode on ticks, Lyme’s disease, and a warmer, wetter climate - 18m12s bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0… @BBCCountryfile @charlottebsmith

It’s another one you could have filmed in Parracombe sadly, and worse, we are about to lose our GP practice completely. I shall look forward to watching later. Thank you for highlighting.
