Walking down from Glastonbury Tor this morning about 20 minutes after sunrise. Have a fab new week everyone.

Damp grey path ahead. Green hedge on right. Some bushes and alders on left.

Great views of the firecrest along the River Aire at Methley this morning. Then spent 45 minutes staring through a wire fence at a sewage works, failing to find a water pipit. 10/10 would recommend. #UKbirding

Inspired by the guy who had never heard of the Odyssey, here’s a thread of books you should at least KNOW about, if you want to be culturally literate.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

i love you libraries i love you museums i love you botanical gardens i love you public parks i love you art galleries

A mythical baku with features as described in the thread text. In this image it stands beside a girl sleeping on a futon.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

All day it has rained.

Young Powerful Owlet falls asleep while intently watching some ducks. This is my favourite Owlet movie ever. We always finish our Powerful Owl talks with it zzzzzzzz

Good morning everyone I hope you’re having a lovely day
🌳🍂🍃🍁

I post a lot of good news about dogs on Twitter but A lot of people asking to also post here now.

Struggle to find the time but if I get over 20k followers here I'll find a way to post daily.

🎤 Mic check. Is this thing on?

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.

They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.

Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .

Thank you.

Morning all. My gallery is now on Bluesky too! It's a real gallery full of real pictures by real people, and it's just over there behind the pier.

A garden bed with dead stems and seedheads

🌱 Tidying up the garden is a job for the spring, not the autumn. All these dead leaves & stems provide shelter for overwintering insects like bees, lightning bugs, and moths & butterfly pupa. The seedheads provide winter food for birds. #LeaveTheLeaves #GrowNative #Wildlife #Gardening #Insects

On 22-23rd November we will be at Guildford Cathedral for their legendary Christmas fair. All proceeds go to helping dogs in need and we have an abundant range of gifts to buy! See you there 🎄🛍️🐾⛪️ #Christmas #handmadewithlove #christmasgifts #christmasfair #guildford #guildfordcathedral
