As with any creative idea, Kate and Richy were ready to adapt. Because we were recording all the activity on 5HD cameras, we had so much great content but you were lucky if you ever caught it live. So we restyled our broadcast-look to incorporate another video feed featuring random clips from all the cameras of when the ferrets were on view. We have learned so much through this experience, and one of our primary goals was always to be a resource for other content creators and people interested in streaming. So the other big lesson we have learned from recently was that keeping a five camera live stream on 24/7 takes up a LOT of time, and we were not getting the time to make all this wonderful educational content we had planned. So we adapted again.

12,000 miles apart: Glasgow has a special link to Christchurch THEY are nearly 12,000 miles apart. but Springburn and the New Zealand city of Christchurch have something surprising in common. In October, the Glasgow Times wrote about ambitious £8.1 million plans to transform Springburn Winter Gardens into a thriving community asset. And after the story went to print, we were contacted by a reader in Christchurch with the fascinating story of the city’s Winter Garden. Cuningham House, the glasshouse in Christchurch s Botanic Gardens, is a replica of ours in Glasgow - and both are to undergo renovations. While Springburn Winter Gardens was allowed to fall into disrepair and has lain derelict since 1983, Christchurch has nurtured its Winter Garden.
