It's finally time to bring back my working with widllife blog series.

A series of interviews with some wonderful people who work within the natural world, from zoo keepers, to museum curators and everything in between and those that are on the path to working in these positions too. Be inspired for a future where you can combine your love of nature with your day job. I hope you enjoy these interviews, that you can learn something from them and they can inspire you.

Now let me introduce you to Amy...

I am very excited to let you all know that I have been awarded a good practice award by Let toys be toys 

Awarded by Let Toys Be Toys for marketing inclusively to children, free from gender stereotypes

<blog_break>

I have always felt passionately that toys should be aimed at all children equally, I have never subscribed to the idea that certain things are for boys and certain things are for girls and so I am always concious about making sure that my range is aimed at boys and girls equally. I want all children to discover a love for nature and a passion to protect it for the future. 

I am so pleased to have received this award from https://www.lettoysbetoys.org.uk/ 

Go check them out and support their campaign for toys to free from gender stereotypes.

So heres a blog post I didn't imagine I would be writing, but here we are. 

Two days ago I received an email telling me that I was commiting a trademark infringement, I was pretty shocked, as its something I am very concious of so I couldn't think what I might have done. 

When I found out what it was I was more than a bit shocked by it, yes its something I was doing (and it turns out I was doing it a lot), and it was something I thought I was doing in a perfectly legal way, but I was very wrong. 

So by now you are wondering what it could be, and thats where it might get a bit tricky for me to explain...without saying the thing that I'm not allowed to say. 

Oh my goodness guys I can't actually believe that I am about to write this but here goes...
