Artwork created by the children from Kenton Primary school in Devon. The images show the two halves of a 3D relief sculpture showing the local landscape, the nearby Powderham Castle, and the children themselves on a 'journey' to their new school.

I’ve had a fabulous couple of days at Kenton Primary in Devon, where every child has worked together to create this β€˜two piece’ display for their school entrance. Thanks again to @edfinch.bsky.social for inviting me over.

So they want to do the thing that is both morally wrong and definitely bad for our economy and society as whole, in order to 'counter' Reform who would do exactly the same thing.

There was an old woman from Ryde
Who ate some green apples and died
The apples fermented
Inside the lamented
Ans made cider inside her insides

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Save the Date: Salmon Run is on 20 September 2025.

A relay run up the river plus lots more. New activities this year include The Gathering, a fishy festival at Sideshore, Exmouth, with art, music, talks & games.

And more activities at the finish in Dulverton, with @exmoornp.bsky.social

Fascinating to learn a little of the history of @welcometowillerby.bsky.social beyond the published stories.
@wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social will be interested to read this.

A Short, Unauthorised and Inaccurate Account of the History of Willerby By John Macdebs

I think that apart from the Magritte gag (which is rather good), this will be simply perplexing to anyone unfamiliar with Willerby.
Which is, to my mind, a good reason to become familiar with Willerby.

That's lovely and almost completely reliable. They are so keen to propagate and so hard to kill.

But if thirty year tens make thirty new plants, how many years before the whole world is spider plants?
