A goat who lives behind my house, who is angling her neck awkwardly in a rather pathetic and desperate attempt to see my television set and catch the finale of season 7 of The Gilmore Girls.
THREAD.
A collection of photographs of excellent goats I have met during walks in the British countryside.
You will find the all-important captions to each photo in the alt text.

How horribly full of fear and hatred this man is.
BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Congratulations!
So the Telegraph is taking this well
They're reading as though they've been produced by the the wonderful Allister Heath Headline Generator!

Very true! I don't know how to tell whether someone is being coerced to vote a certain way in the polling station, or is just having a chat with a family member. Either way, polling centre staff noticed no irregularities.
This made me laugh this morning because it's pretty much what some news rags are saying...
Thing is, even if family voting did happen (not good), the electoral observer said it happened 35 times. That's 35 votes. Not thousands.
We’ve officially reached the "Mean Girls" stage of international diplomacy.
I know I don't live there, but everything in America is shocking me - while sadly, not surprising me. Standing with everyone protesting in Minneapolis at the moment, and hope to be able to protest soon here to have our voices heard about the appalling acts of violence over there too.
Tree glowing red after sunrise reflected abstractly in a frozen canal. There are some patterns in the ice that look a bit like a bird’s wing.
Took quite a lot of images over the last week so difficult deciding on which to post for #ShareMondays2026 but I just adored the icy Grand Union Canal and golden reflections of the trees :)

A snowy fell peak in the Lake District, UK. Clouds are overhead in blue sky and the light is starting to fade slightly.
Another one from Sunday - Scales Fell and Doddick with Blencathra to the left. #lakedistrict #hiking #ukhiking #outdoors #mountains #photography #wainwrights #fells
I have never tried because egg. EGG!
Looking towards the summit of Blencathra from close to the summit of Scales Fell, Lake District, UK. The landscape is snowy and mountainous.
A landscape taken from partway up a fell in the Lake District, UK. Snow in the foreground and on the fells in the background, with valleys between. The sun is starting to dip below the clouds.
A hilly landscape with sun rays shining through the clouds. There is a dusting of snow on the high fells and the valley is lit by the wintry sun.
A lurcher in a red coat looks out over a snowy landscape at about 600 metres up a fell in the Lake District. There are more fells to the left hand side with a dusting of snow.
Today - snowy Scales Fell with the ten-year-old MurphyDog.
Why thank you!
Me too, god. Me too.
Absolutely fantastic!!
Does sound quite intense. Can only hope that safeguards will be put in place to prevent overload!
Erasure. More erasure.
"...political indoctrination agendas"... Not agreeing with someone who refuses to condemn school shootings is now political indoctrination, hmm? This is really worrying.
This is brilliantly written. Thanks to @covertsandwich.bsky.social for sending it to me. Needs sharing.

Yes! Why aren't people learning from the past?!
Aww, howwww!? How does that happen so quickly? She's beautiful.
Can you explain how we are 'full'? From where I'm sitting, there is a LOT of space.
Also, you are quite literally saying that people who are experiencing war, famine, persecution, cannot be allowed to go to a place where they will be safe.
Sickening. God forbid you ever experience any of those.
There is of course another solution to the ‘asylum seeker problem’. Start thinking of them as human.
When you do that, the ‘problem’ kind of melts away.
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
This. Looks like cannula marks.
This terrifies me. Feels very dystopian.
