A great example that ignorance is bliss! Under the Tories our services crumbled and our debt doubled BUT we had their 'entertaining' PM,s backed by Britain's right wing media telling us everything was great, that we should shop till we drop and spend money we didn't have, so we did.
The remains of a Franciscan Priory, a large stone building with tall windows, sits in a large park surrounded by green lawns. People are sitting on park benches enjoying the sun and eating their lunch. Behind the building are mature trees and above there is a blue sky.

Remains of a Franciscan Friary (1269), everything but this demolished in the 16thC Dissolution; then it became a law courts, guildhall, armoury, museum, and now a hire venue for community events

same - I don't have a dog, so I walk my camera.

This is damned good, the 70's in one photo. 👍
A nice clean informative www. If this is any indication of the browser version you're looking really good. (still saving lots of lappy photos for when that launches)
I totally agree. Whenever politics pops up on the beeb I turn over, I want news not their right wing opinion presented as news. I just removed BBC quick access from my browser, replaced them with ITV News and The Conversation, I'm also converting my Bsky Following into my news feed.
A house and boats stand on the shoreline of the Chidham Peninsula, there are yachts moored in the channel, on the other side of the water in the distance lies Bosham Hoe.
Chidham, West Sussex.
The Chichester Harbours are extensive and sheltered, and close to open sea; it’s no surprise that sailing is a massive way of life here. This boathouse looks out over the channel to Bosham Hoe.

Chidham Peninsula, West Sussex.
.. is known for its wild exposed coastal path, mostly only accessible to walkers and runners. Whilst the land is flat and agricultural, with narrow lanes and footpaths, it has its own ignored beauty.

A couple sit relaxing in the sun on a bench in Bishop’s Palace Garden at the back of Chichester Cathedral. A brick path edged in flowers leads from the foreground to where they’re sitting in a warm sheltered corner, a suntrap. Besides and behind them is an old red brick wall which resembles the wall of a castle.

.. the ultimate civilised suntrap between the Roman Walls and the Cathedral.

Proof positive that generative AI is ultimately - dead !
p.s. stapler bookbinding is wonderfully appropriate for the full analogue experience, why don't we see this in more first editions?
A couple are walking along the edge of the beach, they appear in silhouette because the sunlight is behind them.

Green policy formation in terribly managed ever changing online groups then speed through at Conference is a nightmare. Labour has National Policy Forum, very well organised. (I've been involved with both). I agree that Conference will always throw a curve ball even at good well constructed motions.
This Trump War has been the catalyst that demonstrated just how utterly irrelevant Badenoch and Farage are.
The small Saxon church of All Saints is surrounded and partially hidden behind trees; bright yellow daffodils cover the grass outside the church.
