Riggs doesn’t look particularly sincere, remorseful or apologetic. Surely the PR team could have found a more appropriate photo.

New Cherry tree in my back yard Prunus avium ‘Sunburst’. Bought from Lidl. South Oxfordshire UK

Planted a new Cherry tree in the back yard. Hoping the blossom might yield to fruit 🍒

Photo of a grey, sheer cliff face. The surface looks like it’s comprised of puzzle pieces. Blue sky is visible at the top of the photo.

Coastal hiking in Newfoundland, Canada is a treat for the eyes. Another view (last week) of the seaside cliffs near my hometown in Conception Bay North. #hiking #trail #ediacaran

Hannity may dress like a Christian, by any similarity ends there.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

More bluebells for #FlowersonFriday. Have a great day one and all.

How to read an election leaflet These elections are about you, the voter. The parties putting their leaflets through your door would like you to think they’re about them

They think you’ll fall for it again.

From weasel words to vanishing party names, the oldest political trick is still alive: say anything, hide everything.

Every election, parties put out glossy leaflets telling you what matters. But it’s your job to decide – not theirs.

Peter Thurlow explains

The venue is fully accessible (step free entrance), all materials are provided, and the workshop is suitable for all ability levels

‘The Tyger’ is one of my favourite poems 🐅👍🏽

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial view landscape. It depicts an apple orchard in bloom in the centre, allotments to the left and sheep in their field at the bottom. Train tracks go past the top of the orchard and allotment.

Sewn train tracks past an apple orchard (to the left).

An angled view of a sewn vegetable allotment surrounded by rough land, trees and with train tracks to the left.

An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:

a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b

Garden? That’s a forest 🌳👍🏽😀

If I don't slow down, I could miss a dozen tiny gardens in one stride.

Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark.

And he's off his head...green leader Polanski in bid to ban horse racing.

Every day I'm setting out my plan to end rip-off Britain and take back our power and wealth from those who have stolen it.

Here's today's Sun front page.

The Murdoch empire is terrified.

You'd think that Farage would be
against fossil fuel energy
because compared to renewable it's
- more expensive
- slower on line
- less job creating
- more polluting
and particularly because it creates refugees
fleeing from wars & climate change
and Farage is against refugees, isn't he ...

Beautiful morning here in Western Washington.

Bumblebee food demand peaks during March to June. Shortage of food during these critical months can result in dire consequences for colony survival/queen production and risks local population extinction.

Tree roots, like strength, can endure through the seasons,year after year.Intertwined with the roots of other trees, they are not alone in their quiet presence.Think of the tree's roots when "being strong" is too much for you, because perhaps strength, like tree roots,is something meant to be shared

If you do not want Reform in power, even if you do not support the other parties, vote tactically in the May elections. It is the only way to stop them. There are more of us than them. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🫖☕️

Ahh, the Iron Space Chicken departing

A late afternoon sun on a path, fresh green foliage and a couple of red tulips, a few bluebells

The path up to my patio. The topiary on the right needs attention 😀

A pink/purple flower underneath an ancient apple tree. The trunk shown would impress a sturdy mature elephant.

Under my apple tree. No blossoms on the tree yet, big cookers, probably Bramleys
