Imagine if the Queen *had* lived to be 100. Britain this week would be even more batshit that it usually is. Compulsory street parties. Ten-mile queue to wave a flag at Buckingham Palace. Jennie Bond on TV saying things like 'she fought in two world wars and actually also invented the alarm clock'.

in a time when the economy is in shambles and our wallets are empty, i strongly encourage you go through game demos that are available.
there are so many gems to discover, and i am overjoyed every time i find a winner.
here are some i’ve played recently on steam:
Apple blossom in bloom. Its petals are pale white and pink. Text reads: Apple. Appearing from March to April, it grows in hedgerows, gardens, orchards and scrubland in moist, heavy soil.
Blackthorn blossom blooming. It has pale white petals and yellow centre. Text reads, Blackthorn. Found in hedgerows and scrub. Blackthorn bursts into flower in March and likes to be in bright sunlight.
White cherry blossom hanging down in a clump from a branch. Text reads, Cherry. You can see wild cherry blossom in woodlands in March, April and sometimes May.
Clusters of white blossom flower on an branch growing upright towards the sun. Text over reads, Damson. Damson trees are small and hardy with leaves covered by a fine down on both sides. They blossom with small white flowers in early April.
Want to brush up on your blossom identification skills? Look no further...
Just finished the book, really enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Look at the delicate leaves on this glass beaker - it’s almost 2000 years old. Human ingenuity has been making the impossible for millennia.

A bingo card showing nine images of blossom. Title in pink letters at the top reads 'Let's play blossom bingo! Spot the blossom and tick it off'. Illustrations for leaves, blossom flowers, a bee and ladybird surround. The blossom images are in square boxes with identifications under. We see cherry, apple, hawthorn, blackthorn, pear, goat willow, damson, plum and bird cherry.
Each spring, blossom makes our local neighbourhoods that little bit brighter and remind us that sunnier days are on the horizon.
As #BlossomWatch gets underway, save our bingo board and see how many varieties you spot. 🌸

I took a trip down to Richmond to get to the bottom of the bizarre economics of temporary accommodation in London - read the piece here
We are looking at the Great Hall roof, all oak posts and frame soaring majestically upwards.
Prepare for your mind to be blown.
The oak trees that make up the Undercroft were felled in 1358.
Their size and scale would suggest that they were at least 200 - 250 years old.
Which means they were saplings only 50 years after the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Anyone else struggle with this because for absolutely no reason at all, it feels 'right' that even numbers should go in a circle and odd in a square? Brains are weird.
