Enjoyed the day. Easy traffic free journey.
Lunch at Bar Convent 🫖 🥪 🍰 ☕️
Wander around town.
Free Costa (voucher) ☕️
Museum Gardens very atmospheric.

Parking is a bit tight with cars down the middle but convenient for Bar Convent lunch. Lots of working Ev chargers and lots of not working Ev chargers.

Any experience of Nunnery Lane car park?
Just need a few hours late morning local to Bar Convent later this week.
Doing the Museum Gardens Light Show, parking sorted for evening.

Indeed he is.

BBCNEWS is no longer a trustworthy, unbiased news outlet.
In fact, quite the opposite.

Into the woods..

Can you spot it? 👻

Enjoyed the Halloween Skeleton Ball Trail at @nationaltrust.org.uk Biddulph Grange Garden. 🎃
Weather forecast thankfully wrong, a sunny autumnal afternoon instead 💀 ⛅️
Even caught a Spectre on camera, can you spot it? 👻

Autumn colours at @nationaltrust.org.uk Biddulph Grange Gardens.

Halloween very early this year. My family went pumpkin picking and carving this weekend. 🎃

A path leads through planted gardens. Autumn colours are prominent.

The White Rose Walk in Museum Gardens is looking good, @tony2443.bsky.social #York

Was there on Tuesday.
Enjoyed visiting our friends in Bull Bay. Had chips by the sea before a night drive home.

Watched a York Christmas ghost story last night.
“Behind the Lights”
Unseasonable, but enjoyable nonetheless. @seabrkei.bsky.social

Hidden gem. To think we’ve visited York for decades and only found it when buying a York Ghost.

Just making one of my fleeting visits to Bluesky.
Hi to @evroadtrip.bsky.social @seabrkei.bsky.social @kaukonenville.bsky.social
Hope you’re all keeping well.

Nicely fettled! Been to Dorset and back. Faultless, smooth, refined and powerful. This is a brilliant car! @evgeek.bsky.social @electricvehicle.life @electricroad.bsky.social @tony2443.bsky.social @runsonrails.bsky.social @bobbyllew.bsky.social #ElectricVehicles #Leapmotor

I believe so yes.

A few months.

Thanks. Its struggled this summer, shed lots of needles after spring root pruning.
Best to remove the cone then.

Couldn’t resist this.

Amazing the things you find in a @nationaltrust.org.uk shop.

My 35+ year old Bonsai pine developed a cone for the first time.
It’s recovering after a much needed severe root prune this spring. Shocked it so maybe this explains it?
When to remove it? Could I plant and grow it?
Advice appreciated.

That’s amazing. Makes our Mary Rose look like , well, a wreck.

😊 Vasa ship is truly impressive

I gave up on houseplants years ago, they aren’t in their natural environment.
I have just one, a money tree (Jade plant) that was my Mums. Lives outdoors May to September & indoors for winter. Gets bigger each summer, one day it will either be too big to lift or won’t fit into its winter quarters.

Clearly translated from the original Mandarin 😂

Happy New Car Day @evroadtrip.bsky.social

Of interest ?@evroadtrip.bsky.social

This Honda leasing really is working out. No Big D for you. And a new car every few years.
