A big thank you to Chris for sharing these gorgeous red squirrel videos with us. These beautiful clips were captured right from Chris’s garden, just off Phillips Lane in Formby, and we absolutely love them. While red squirrels can see through glass, Chris cleverly used the glass as a gentle barrier, allowing him to get incredibly close without disturbing them — resulting in these calm, intimate shots we don’t often get to see. We’re so lucky to have red squirrels living among us here in #Formby,

#Formby Village is looking truly beautiful this week, with vibrant red poppies adorning the lampposts and railings around the Formby War Memorial. These touching displays have been lovingly arranged in preparation for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, honouring those who gave their lives in service. You can find full details of this year’s services and parades in our link below. 🌺 Link: https://www.formbybubble.com/single-post/formby-will-fall-silent-for-remembrance-day-and-armistice-day #F
