Watch out for the Weever fish when you go away this year! Yes, this tiny little fish can cause quite the chaos!

Yup its that time of year folks.

The school summer holidays.

Its time for our usual public service announcement

These little blighters are Weever fish. Found all round our coast.

They like to bury themselves in soft sand so are often in the sea on our most popular beaches. Now for a fish that's only 2 inches long you wouldn't think it was a threat.

However many many adults and children every year step on them. Unfortunately they have a poisonous spine on their backs...and the pain?? Well lets say it can be holiday spoiling

So how to protect yourselves...the easiest way is to purchase some beach shoes, they can be purchased pretty much everywhere and are cheap...better eco friendly if you take them home and bring them next year!!

If you decide to risk going bare foot and fall foul. There are no quick treatments but a simple one does exist

Hot water, as hot as you can stand it and change regularly for 60-90 minutes

Also tweezers to remove any spines. (They keep pumping toxins if you leave them)

However i warn you...the pain is intense. Like nothing you have ever felt

Personally.....I'd buy the beach shoes 🤣

Bison returning to the British wild! 🦬

Bison are returning to the wild in the UK for first time in thousands of years 🦬 The gentle giants are being introduced into an ancient British woodland as part of a £1.12 million project to help tackle the nature and climate crises. Described as “ecosystem engineers”, it's hoped their feeding habits and size will open up trails and allow new plants, insects, lizards, birds and bats to thrive 🙌🌍

If you are heading to SPAIN for your holidays READ THIS POST!

British tourists heading to Spain this summer must have three additional documents when they arrive in the country.
UK citizens are now permitted to use the e-gates at Spanish border control if “instructed to do so by airport staff”.
But Brits entering the country will now need proof of a return or onward ticket, enough money for their stay, and proof that they have somewhere to stay in Spain.

We're sorry but we've postponed Tuesday 19 July's planned public event for dog owners at Patchway Police Centre due to the extreme heat weather warning and the potential health risks for people and their pooches.

We'll reschedule and let you know the new date but in the meantime you can find out how your dog's DNA could help protect them from theft here: http://ow.ly/IKGT50JW20y

This week is set to be HOT! Here is some tips on how to keep cool and stay safe!

Stay indoors, avoid going outside while the sun is at its highest! (11am-3pm)

Know how to recognise heat stroke/stress in yourselves and your pets!

Be neighbourly! Check on those around you who may be vulnerable in the heat!

Keep your home cool! - Keeping your curtains closed and your windows open will help!

Drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol!

Never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children or animals!

Get a paddling pool to keep cool! But don't leave children or pets unattended.

Walk in the shade, apply sunscreen regularly and wear a wide brimmed hat, if you have to go out in the heat. (Do not take your dogs out during the day!)

If you are going into open water to cool down, take care and follow local safety advice.

Keep your pets safe too! Provide plenty of cold water, cold treats and shade for your pets! Walk your dogs early in the morning or late at night.
