What has happened to Labour?

Starmer

Ardvreck Castle - Wikipedia

Very good question ... took a bit of work en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardvrec...

@haggisss01.bsky.social

Thank you bsky.app/profile/arey... is one to follow for politics. I've followed you from that account 🙂

Hurrah - another Independence supporter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My primary account is where I do politics and I'll 100% followback. Looking forward to 2026 Holyrood elections @areyouyesyet.bsky.social

thank you but we Scots are a much pricklier bunch than that 😀

New Harmony, Indiana - Wikipedia

You may already know but Owens did try something similar in Indiana

Thank you. May I please repost in feature threads? (credited in alt text)

Thank you - I can nearly taste the McCowans Toffee

😘

All good info & I love info. I feel sure that that'll get me a point in a pub quiz some day

I'll need to Google ... or could just block you I guess 😆😆

Getting back to Glasgow, I imagine they are mainly tea merchants, shipping magnates, slave owners, etc

I'll raise you ... Karl Marx at Highgate Cemetery 😉

Not "raise" in that sense of course 😆

In a rare recommendation from me for England (joking), I would have to concede that Highgate Cemetery in London should be on your list

How many cemeteries have a website? highgatecemetery.org

One for your Scotland trip Cindy bsky.app/profile/cyn1...

Aberdeen and then Aberdeenshire has been my home since 1975 when I came south to go to University

Thus far, you are hitting all the areas where this new BlueSky project has decent coverage. Many other areas have barely been touched

I love this outlook "park there for two or three months". I've heard too many folks saying they wish they'd had more time

Small in size (South Carolina is bigger), but very diverse and - in places - rather slow to get around with narrow roads, ferries, whatever

I wish !!

No, I credit all photographs on Alt Text. Click on photo to enlarge and read

Climate eh? You like to get the easy questions out of the way first 😆

I'm replying from this account deliberately. I'd be obliged if you would follow as overly-specific info (if/when it arises) should be kept on DM (and I note your dislike of them)

Thank you Ally

Progress has ground to a halt for now as I was diagnosed with cancer 4 days ago. I fully intend to continue with this project though - it might be a nice distraction from the darker days of my radio / chemo therapies

Should you wish to visit at any time, I am blogging it on @cancerblog.bsky.social
