and some families are feeling the pinch this winter.
Pretty in pink: What a great contrast between green and pink. This tiny area of blooms in Abbeymead caught the eye of weather watcher, Wildwoman.Stunning sunshine: Thank you to Ursula for sending this one through to us. A sun halo is known to be an atmospheric optical phenomenon where a ring of light, often white but can be coloured, appears around the sun.
Green Gloucestershire: This gorgeous picture of Frampton on Severn was caught by Space Walker, one of our weather watchers.Flower power: What a capture! This has been a highlight for us this week as the blue flowers and sunshine in the background suggest that summer may well be on the way.A Bonfire Night celebration in Nottingham has been cancelled for the fifth year in a row, the city council has confirmed.
The free event at the Forest Recreation Ground, which included a firework display, has not been held since 2019.It was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the Covid pandemic and in the two following years because of rising costs.
The council said "significant cost pressures" mean re-introducing the event for 2024 would "not be viable".
The authority said in 2023 the"We heard that ICE came to a building not far from me," said Carlos, whose son is a US citizen born in New York.
Like Gabriela, Carlos was initially cautiously optimistic about Trump's electoral win and thought he would indirectly benefit from Trump's promises to boost the economy and lower inflation."It's scary. I've been avoiding being out on the street more than I need to," he added. "I don't have a problem with criminals being arrested. But we keep hearing that other people - workers - are also being taken away."
Both Gabriela and Carlos asked to be identified only by their first names, fearing retribution or attention from authorities.It is unclear how many of those arrested have criminal histories and how many are what have been what the first Trump administration termed "collateral" arrests.
