If you need some calm, come walk with Monty and me in the woodlands. Taken from today’s lunchtime stroll. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

I think a subtle difference between people hating America compared to hating Americans. The country will be hugely disliked for years, maybe for a generation. But that does not apply to individual Americans, of whom a sizeable amount do not want this administration either.

The Forces of Scarcity Hitting Asia May Soon Spread Across the World

An excellent piece about the ripple effect across the global economy, ignited by a handful of imbeciles in the White House. One thing this article doesn’t mention, is the long term hatred of America for causing this in the first place. 🌎

The River Test in Romsey, flowing fast and glorious, its clear waters formed from the chalk bed. A moment of peace. 😊

My favourite tree of the woodlands. I always stop and this tree and give thanks to it. Silly as that may sound. It rises from the ferns and seems quietly proud. The trees are some of my closest friends, for I tell them everything and they listen and calm me. 🌳

The trees are transitioning from the skeletons of winter to the lush leaves of spring. I love seeing this change which happens so quickly now spring is here. 🌳

Dawn chorus.

From today’s early morning woodland walk. The air was warm, the sunlight gentle on the new leaves, and the birdsong in full tune. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

This is utterly delightful 😍

‘Do not go gentle into that good night…’

My reading of Dylan Thomas’s classic. Rest well, my friends. We go again tomorrow. 😊

I wonder if there was a darker game at play. The intelligence services know a lot about Mandelson, Epstein and Trump and Epstein. Maybe there was pressure to ensure Mandelson was ambassador and use the Epstein links (and fear of leaks) to rein in Trump when required, and pressure Mandelson to act.

If you go to Farley Mount in the next 2 weeks, the woodlands are awash with bluebells. Definitely worth a visit.

Pause awhile and return to your breathing.

The view from Farley Mount, Hampshire, as spring colours begin to fill the fields, and the warmer air flows across the valley. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

If you need a moment of calm amidst the chaos, come walk the woodlands with Monty and me. Let the choir of birdsong calm you and just be in the present moment. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🌳

Song Thrush, Blackbird, Goldfinch and Wood Pigeons 😊

Lovely flowers, thank you ☺️

The picture looks like he is blessing Epstein.

As we embark on a new week, please remember your best is good enough. Do not succumb to the imposters of ego, materialism or comparison. Kindness is all that matters. Kindness towards yourself and towards all things. May your week be peaceful, my friends. 😊

How many people, I wonder, are today gleefully counting the little bit of cash they won or are still on a high from ‘a great day at the races?’ Meanwhile, another beautiful animal has been killed to enable this macabre spectacle. May your light shine on, Get On George. Bless you. 🐎 ❤️

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, in aisle 3.

The bluebells are in full bloom and a sea of lilac flows across the woodland floor. Spring is beautiful. May you rest well, my friends. 😊

It is way beyond time that this cruel and disgusting event was banned. Let flat racing happen, if you must, but not fence jumping. Horses dying so that ignorant folk can have some excitement and win money is utterly wrong. May your light shine on, Gold Dancer. 🐎 ❤️

An outstanding combination of science, teamwork and bravery. Watching Artemis II return to Earth was rather emotional. Took these shots from my TV screen to capture the moments. 🚀

Goodnight from Monty and me. Rest well, my friends. We go again tomorrow. 😊

Birdsong and bluebells

From my lunchtime woodland dog walk. A chance to reset and be in the present moment. 🌳

Love this!

Kinkakuji, Kyoto. 🇯🇵

I fell in love with Japan on my travels through the country. The history, the culture, and the serenity. Pause awhile and enjoy this moment of calm. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊
