It's very good! I was on a tour with Anthony Connolly and it was the first portrait he talked about! Such a (pleasant) surprise!

Visited the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition today at the Mall Galleries. Great to see this wonderful charcoal portrait by Mark Shields of @malcolmguite.bsky.social

Finally reading The Old Ways. Wonderful!

Isn't that the truth!

@axisweb.bsky.social hello!

"All flourishing is mutual" Robin Wall Kimmerer in 'The Serviceberry' talking about fruit trees and the relationship of soil, sun, water, air, minerals, fungi, birds, insects and so on. (From #Advent reflection by @briandraper.bsky.social )

I want to know who the American women's relatives are!

Anyone else think #TheArchers has lost the plot??

I've recently been introduced to a new game, via French newspapers. #Kemaru. It's harder than it looks. If you like #sodoku, you'll like this. Free versions online. #numbers #logic #numbergame.You're welcome.

Brilliant choice!

Great book, well written - if a little depressing.

Lovely little chapel beautifully restored (It looked almost derelict from the photos of 1988). La Chappelle de Saint Pierre Loperhet, Brittany. And yes, the sky is that blue!

Shame we don't have a specific word on Blue-sky for to "post". Couldn't we flutter and reflutter ? On the news they would have to say "The PM fluttered today that..." it would be hard to 'flutter' something rude.

All finished. What a rollercoaster! Feeling quite traumatised. #theBeeSting #contemporaryfiction

Anyone else read the #Beesting? DON'T tell me the end! I'm saving it. But I fear it won't end well...

Seems nice here! I feel like I've gone back in time a few years.
