It’s National Pet Day! At Primrose Piggies we have several groups of sanctuary piggies that have come to us as rescues and for all sorts of reasons have stayed❤️ We very often get piggies that come here to retire and we also have several special needs piggies❤️#rescue #guineapig https://t.co/874aPjKRQx
It's Primrose Day. It marks the anniversary of the death of Benjamin Disraeli. Queen Victoria sent a wreath of primroses to Disraeli's funeral with a note stating that they were "his favourite flowers". 🌸 #STEM #PrimroseDay https://t.co/tqwmUN0qhH https://t.co/X5boGITdAO
