"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

Has FIFA awarded Ms. Trump an Oscar yet?

You don’t choose the scone life. The scone life chooses you.

Homicides at lowest level in nearly 50 years, ONS statistics show The 499 homicide cases in the year to September were the lowest in England and Wales since 1977.

Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape.

The Hidden Hut on the coast path just north of Portscatho. Incredible spot with lovely food. Definitely recommend!!

An elderly Jack Russell critically but politely eyes the big plate of bacon, eggs, sausage, sourdough toast, mushrooms and tomato that turned up on the adjoining table...

Suddenly interest from Jack at the next table when breakfast arrived....

My own fault - I'm usually pretty good at reading labels..!! Homemade is definitely best...

I've eaten Lidl Deluxe Creamy Coleslaw for years. This 'new look' one is definitely NOT the 'same great taste' owing to the presence of something called 'liquid sugar' AND 'sugar syrup'!? It tastes sweet - utterly horrific and I ended up scraping it into the bin. WHO puts sugar into coleslaw FFS??!

I'm genuinely fed up of constantly intense politics and the news being dominated by the words and actions of absolute scumbags... These f**kers need to realise they're here to serve us, then shut up and get on with it.

YES!!!

...and his wife..

Yes... I had both the Cajun pork sandwich (on ciabatta with chorizo, emmental cheese, sweet and spicy pickles and apple mustard) AND the smoked haddock, bacon and clam chowder, (with herb oil, sourdough croutons and dill)... #hiddenhut

A wintry view east across Gerran's Bay, off the Roseland peninsula in Cornwall, with a distant rainbow

Nice New Year's Day stroll around the Roseland earlier. The odd seal and rainbow, here and there...

Our ancestors lived here, on these cliffs, 1000 years before Jesus was born...
A beautiful, wild and windy day in #Cornwall

I'm still looking for a present for my Goddaughter, but this is good advice i think. @justsuet.bsky.social

Fantastic news.
The Erasmus programme was what I was a part of when I was a student & exchanged with a university in France. One of the best things I have ever done & changed my life.

It's beautiful out there! Add the smell of a log fire or two....

Pork pie and punchy Kimchi. Winning combo

A relation of composer Victor Hely-Hutchinson, of Carol Symphony fame maybe??
