Coming in to land………thank you @samueljwilde

Amongst all the bad we see my pink berried rowan tree outside my window gives me great pleasure. The leaf colours of autumn are magical. Each season offers something new and every year we watch the progress of plants.

Absolutely. 💯

Looking forward to hearing what you found.

Congratulations Abir. 👏🏻

@mattlewishistory.bsky.social morning Matt, have you watched the Will Young Who Do You Think You Are episode? Interesting conclusion to his lineage.

James Morrison taught in Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee when I was a student and was a well liked lecturer.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social please remember the @snp.org call in Parliament for a ceasefire. That was 24th February 2024. How many people have died since then? The Speaker and Labour opposition were instrumental in disallowing the vote going ahead.

@almurray.bsky.social and James Holland- found this photo amongst others taken by my dad at the end of the war. He started in 7th A&SH but ended his service in Egypt with REME. He’s written the date on the original photo but it gives an idea of the headlines on the day - & it’s importance to him.

Good thread from @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social Well done for highlighting this issue. Please read 🧵

Yay 🎉

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump is ramping up his trade wars and crashing the global economy. He's not sparing the UK from his new tariffs, so why should we roll out the red carpet for him with a second state visit?

The SNP is marking the 3-year anniversary of ScotRail being brought into public ownership

A report shows "strong growth in both passenger journeys and revenue" in that time

"[In] public ownership ScotRail has consistently exhibited higher train performance & Passenger Satisfaction than the GB avg"

Time to reprise Bruce Hornsby’s That’s Just the Way It Is. Listen to the words.

Every English BBC region had lengthy segments dedicated to Labour's welfare cuts on their Sunday Politics show as did BBC Wales. The odd one out was BBC Scotland. Here is every intro from every English programme. Any explanation Martin Geissler? Are you proud of this?

Perfetto.

Vialone nano?

Reminded me that my history teacher 1st yr made us learn by heart “ while a hundred of us remain alive, we will not submit in the slightest measure, to the domination of the English. We do not fight for honour, riches, or glory, but solely for freedom which no true man gives up but with his life.”

I’ll go back and find it. 👍🏻Thanks

I meant Edward II.

I’m always amazed at how much information can be gleaned from documents relating to a time so long ago. The BBC 4 episode I refer to is related to Edward I. Have you ever done an episode on Robert Bruce?

@mattlewishistory.bsky.social I have been really enjoying the Edward II series (especially the mention of Bannockburn 😉)but wondering if you have watched the Courtney Cox episode of BBC 4 Who do you think you are USA? Currently on iPlayer. Recommend.

🤣

I was teaching here in Dundee at that time and word was shared very quickly between educational authorities so we knew within a very short time of it happening. Thank goodness it was the catalyst for banning guns but what a cost. Innocent children.

Sun is very bright but even with the blind down we can enjoy the birds. Mostly robins and blue tits who have nested in the garden for the last two years.

By the SNP but The Speaker of the House stopped it, embarrassingly. There are strong feelings in support of the Gaza people here in Scotland.

@willdalrymple.bsky.social @anitaanand.bsky.social I’m catching up with your Irish series & would like to bring to your attention that Scotland ‘s Ministers in Holyrood have consistently called for a ceasefire since the war started. In fact you may recall that a Parliamentary motion was put forward

I enjoy mark making, evoking surface or landscape, it’s the marks that matter.
