Welcome to my first blog post on my MabelArt Teemill shop! My name is Mabel Cheung Harris<\/a>, I am from South Devon, and I have put my wildlife inspired paintings onto ethical and eco-friendly clothing<\/a>. My aim is to celebrate our wonderful wildlife and raise awareness and raise money for wildlife protection, conservation and generally doing my small bit to help save the planet.<\/p>

Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Bantham<\/a> Beach for the first time at the weekend. It was gorgeous! It completely delivers as part of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty<\/a> . Obviously everyone else knew this already, and it was busy with holidaymakers, locals, grockles, families, cool young and old people, SUPs, canoeists, surfer dudes\/dudettes and wannabees! I had to get on my knees to show the view without the crowds on the beach! I know the past two years have been tough with covid, but the prices for car parking and snacks were as eye-watering as the phenomenal views, so not surprisingly the car park was well represented by Chelsea tractors \ud83d\ude06!<\/p>

There were some equally beautiful sand dune systems behind the busy beach and Avon Estuary. Lovely colourful signs wildlife information signs by @lizzie_harper_illustrator. There is one sign with a small nod to adders as an element of the wildlife. I did also spot quite a lot of \"Adder\" signs dotted about the site in yellow with black text, which I did wonder about. I would point to ARC Trust on best practise for signage to inform the public on the presence of adders<\/a>. I did feel that the humble adder was being a little unfairly singled out here - I assume to keep dogs and children safe. Most sensible adders would do their best to get away at the first sign of people or dogs approaching. I saw a lot of wasps buzzing annoyingly around us - I think they were more of a threat. Adder declines are so serious that there is a risk of them becoming extinct in Britain<\/a>. Be nice to adders!<\/p>

The only adder I saw at Bantham was on my t-shirts, cue gratuitous photos of my \"a for adder\" <\/a>eco-friendly t-shirts! For each sale I will donate \u00a31 to WWF-UK charity towards their wildlife conservation work and fight against climate change<\/a>. My light blue t-shirt is organic recycled<\/a> with lovely fine speckles and my little friend sports a kids mustard organic t-shirt<\/a> . All our t-shirts are printed to order to reduce surplus waste. Teemill t-shirts can be sent back at the end of their lives to be recycled into new t-shirts and you get \u00a35 off your next purchase<\/a>! All delivered in plastic-free packaging. Feel good fashion! Show your adder love! \ud83d\ude01<\/p>
