A peaceful scene viewed from the railway of a canal cutting through countryside. Two barges are passing under a bridge. In the background is a windmill.
“Barges are loaded with goods from factories built beside canals. Barges may be towed by horses or driven by their own motor engines”

Rejection comes with the territory but you brush it off and move on. Occasionally, however, a particular #cartoon not finding a home really pisses you off. This is one of them. #sealife #pollution #aquarium

The cover of a jigsaw box. The illustration is made up of 18 different ladybird illustrations, some cover pictures and some internal pictures, all featuring young children or toddlers.
A family friend found this vintage Ladybird 1000-piece jigsaw in a charity shop and gave it to me.
Isn’t is a thing of beauty?
Keir Starmer is again saying that he is outraged that he wasn't told the vetting info about Peter Mandelson.
But all the information anyone needed about Mandelson – that he was close friends with Epstein – was public knowledge long before his appointment.

‘Madam Curie’ (1970)
The Labour government is not content to have sold a record £20bn in arms around the world last year. It wants to flog more arms to more countries, and it thinks "defence is an engine for growth."
And this is all seen as entirely normal by UK national media.
