Content warning: Hate Crime in Cumbria. Islamophobia

Yesterday we were contacted by local news outlet Cumbria Live about this upsetting story.

A family have refused to move into a home after bacon was found wrapped round the door handles
After finding a new home, the family went to have a final viewing ready to make the move only to discover bacon had been wrapped round both the front and back door.

It was discovered last week at the home in Whitehaven
The family now do not want to move to the area.

Furious at the situation, one woman spoke to CumbriaLive about the discovery saying:

A little thread about how actual #independentbookshops are now providing customers with a viable alternative to Am*z*n! #SmallBusinesses who pay their taxes can supply customers with 500k+ #books to choose from while still supporting bricks and mortar shops 🙏 RT please 1/10
Bookshop.org started in the US of A early last year. Many #bookshops in the USA found it a lifeline to help survive #lockdown. The UK launch was brought forward when #lockdown2 was on the cards in the UK to try to help #indiebookshops in the UK in the same way. 2/10
Customers can order books online from a selection of hundreds of thousands of #books for #homedelivery and nominate a chosen #bookshop to get a cut of the profits (instead of Am*z*n!) 🙌3/10

Wellcome to our virtual walk from Ambleside to Howtown on Lake Ullswater. I’ve based the route on #HadriansHighWay by @fellranger1 which he uses a variant to the main route. Books can be bought direct or through @VindolandaTrust
A view of #Ambleside from Wansfell our starting point in the heart of the #LakeDistrict @CumbriaMagazine
We can start at the roman fort at the edge of #Windermere. The Romans stated to push into the lakes in the early 90’s AD, this fort dates to the rebuild in Hadrian’s Reign possibly after warfare which brought about #HadriansWall #Ambleside

Took a wet walk through some first class WOOD PASTURE on the shore of #ullswater this morning. Here's a thread to explain why it's such a fantastic habitat, and why we need more of it. Image
On the face of it, wood pasture is just a field with trees in it, but it's so much more than this. When well managed, with the right level of grazing, wood pasture is one of the richest habitats we have. In fact, it's more than just one, it's a habitat mosaic. Image
One of the most prominent features of a wood pasture, is big, old #trees. This one has lots of oak, ash, birch, holly, sycamore, hawthorn and alder, many with abundant rot holes, perfect for pied flycatchers, restarts and other hole nesting #bird species. Image

It dawned on me that I post photos of my cows and the land, but not much about us. So here we go....
We are David and Bekka. Husband and wife. 33 years old. We are not from a farming background and have been farming without a farm for 3 years.
So what is #farmingwithnature? It's not an accreditation or a sticker on a steak. It's our deep belief about how we should manage our countryside. On our holding, that means producing beef from grasslands where crops won't grow.
#lakedistrict #Cumbria
In these wild places, it's also our job to make sure that our farm provides homes for wildlife, allows water to behave naturally, and cycles carbon in a way that that benefits our climate.
