My wife has a bad habit of leaving my wooden spoons on top of the hot stove. I make these things as good as I can... but they aren't fireproof.
Sapele and Horse Chestnut.

There is an infinite beauty to moving water, waiting to be discovered! The purple of a winter evening's twilight is softly reflected in the fast moving waters of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal, Canada.

A spiral staircase in a lovely concrete carpark. Out the top of the stair you can see the sky, Edinburgh Castle, and the Red Arrows.
Haha! It worked!
I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh?

There is almost no transparency when it comes to lobbying MPs. We all need to know who politicians are listening to.
Today I have published a log of every private policy meeting with campaigners, unions, charities and businesses in my first year as an MP.
Every MP should have to do the same.

Many yellow lights hanging from the roof in SEN restaurant in Edinburgh.
Taking a few moments to look up from your phone is often rewarded by seeing where you are going.

'Swoop Scoop' ~ Wooden scoop carved in Surinam Cherry wood.
Surinam Cherry isn't really a cherry. The fruit look like little red pumpkins... and taste kind of okay... but the wood carves nicely.

Good morning from NE England. Today's images come from Beamish, officially the best museum in the UK and just 10 minutes from us.
Tania and I go several times a year as there is always some thing new to see or explore
A close up photograph of a white kite. In the distance but further away you can see many more of the same kites. These are called Serpent Deltas and are designed by the world famous English kite maker, Carl Robertshaw
It’s kite festival time again. This time, we’re on the beach at Notre Dame de Monts near Nantes. This is a close up of a kite designed by the English kite maker, Carl Robertshaw.

Don’t really want to “like” this post but sadly, hear this far too often.

Image of a bike inner tube. There is a 10cm long gash in the tube which has split completely open. No inner tube patch is going to fix that hole!
Well, I had no trouble finding that puncture! Strangely, I didn’t have a patch big enough to fix it!
Must have been an old tube and expanded too much in the heat. Never seen that before though.
Had not has and love not live. Must learn to spell check before I post.🫣

People playing and sunbathing on the beach in Narbonne, France. In the background, the sky is full of giant kites. You can see sharks, whales, manta rays and other creatures
Has a great time in Narbonne at the weekend. Boy, the French sure do live a beach kite festival.

My 7 year old just invented a whole new punctuation! Its a period with a squiggly line going down from it. It indicates that the sentence should be read in a creepy voice.

A photograph of the crowds C at the RICV Berck-Sur-Mer. One of France’s largest kite festivals. In the foreground you can see a TV crew filming the huge crowds. In the back ground to the right you can see a giant inflatable dinosaur.
Who would want to go to a v kite festival anyway? Well, it turns out that most of France does it so it seemed yesterday! Great scenes @RICV Berck Sur Mer

A photograph of the beach kite festival in Berck-sur-Mer, France. In the sky you can see giant fish kites of many different sizes and shapes.
What an amazing day at the beach in Berck-sur-Mer, France. Kites everywhere!

'Rhino' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Maple wood with deer antler tips and seed beads.
The heft of the head on this piece is enough to counter-balance the spoon bowl.
