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.

A map showing the route of the Salmon Run relay from Exmouth to Dulverton, with information about the event.

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

'Will Ferrell solve the immigration problem" would have been funnier.

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.
