I'm very excited to be finally getting this onstage!

Trees pruned, beds prepared, paths laid, greenhouse repaired….Getting the allotment sorted for the spring #AllotmentLife

Loving my new home office shelves/cupboards created by my friend Richard. I just need to get on and do some work now…

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Wow, that's high. Hope it subsides soon...

New Houses in the background, Trees and path in the foreground surrounded by floodwater

Path and trees flooded on a sunny day

New Housing estate constructed by ‘Latimer by Clarion Housing group’ called The Cocoa works - on the site of the old Rowntree Factory in York. Before the estate was built, this path never flooded… it floods every year now ☹️

OMFG Matt Weston!!! 🥇

Sorry to sit on the fence but I think you’re both right! It IS a load of people messing around & sliding but they do it with such style ⛸️. Besides, the greatest sport of all (cricket obvs!) is similarly just a load of people messing around with bat and ball - but they do it so spectacularly! 🏏

Say hi to Kathy for me and tell her to get on Bluesky!

Met these two lovely fellas at the weekend: Eric & Earl Grey - magnificent specimens.

I thought the same. There are other ways of using leftovers.

Très judicieux – la Grande-Bretagne devrait faire de même

He is correct, education, be it academic, vocational or hands-on (apprenticeships) benefits society. This country has, over the decades, placed less value on education in my opinion.

Abolish all fee paying educational institutions and fund them adequately. This is how a real meritocracy looks.

BBC weather app showing rain and cold

Is it me or is the BBC weather just the most depressing and pessimistic app?

😱

Yup… very uncomfortable.

Noooo! Not Angela!

Yes, I was lucky to get the last few at the shop - left it a bit late!

Another batch of Seville Orange marmalade cooling in the kitchen

Came across a magic money tree on one of our weekend walks …

A herd of sheep meander along the middle of a village road near an old stone house on a cold grey day.

Rush hour up on the #NorthYorkMoors

This is a painting titled York from Scarborough Railway Bridge, created by the artist John Bell. The artwork is an oil on canvas painting. It depicts a view of the city of York, with the prominent York Minster cathedral in the background. The painting is part of the collection at the York Art Gallery, which is managed by the York Museums Trust.

York from Scarborough Railway Bridge, John Bell (1793–1861)
York Art Gallery The foundation stone of this, the original bridge was laid on 28 March 1845, and the bridge was opened to traffic on 7 July 1845 at the same time as the rest of the line.

You’re right of course - I’d just had enough by the time we got to the redemptive bit!

Pssssccchh-t-cou 😁

The film is beautiful but, like the book - which I too wasn't a fan of - I found it unremittingly miserable.

This is joyous:

The beautiful Mallyan Spout, near Goathland on the North York moors. A bracing winter walk!
