Turning increasingly windy tonight and into Wednesday morning across southwest England
The strongest winds are likely around exposed coasts and high ground, with peak gusts of 50-60 mph in a few places and locally higher in the vicinity of Dartmoor
Seems to be a lot of holly blue #butterflies around. More than usual?
I don't have to go outside to hear the sparrows excitedly cheep cheeping in the hedge 😊
Aha. Spain. That explains it! 😊

Broad beans? Did they grow through winter? I tried that few years ago but half died....were they protected?
Been watching the new Bergarac.
I don't think I am ever particularly good at working out who done it in general but both seasons have seemed very predictable. Still okay to watch though.
Lovely
Bio-precipitation cycle with fungi: "As wind kicks up, their ice-making proteins are launched into the clouds. They act as powerful "seeds".

I’ve just signed the petition to ban councils using bailiffs to collect debt. With council tax going up this month, we need to act now before millions of people have the bailiffs come knocking. Can you sign and share? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

Saw lots of butterflies today.
At least 6 holly blues...don't think I have ever seen so many at one time. 4 brimstones, an orange tip, a peacock and a red admiral.
Finally got tomatoes, cucumbers and leeks planted. Next beans and lettuce 😊
Butterflies rarely stop for pics for me. Maybe speckled woods and peacocks occasionally. Still nice to see them flutter by...
I saw my first orange tip of the year today.

#TitliTuesday blessed to see so many beautiful #butterflies whilst I've had time off work; peacock, orange-tip, small tortoiseshell, speckled wood, brimstone, holly blue & comma. Only the green veined white refused to stop for a photo. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire & #SouthCumbria
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
OK. Great. Thanks I might give it a go.
I am sad they didn't make a final Kelvin timeline Trek movie. Hope some type of movie happens soon. It's been a decade!
Is it any good?
As I gave my cotoneaster its yearly trim in November,one of my neighbours said I should rip it up. Not going to happen I said. It's growing into my drive & making it difficult to get in & out he said.
He has a double drive. What twaddle. His part of the hedge is now see through & without berries 🤷♀️

Season 3 of The Night Agent is much better than season 1.
Not even sure if I watched 2nd season.
I hope you feel much better very soon.
Great photo. Looks like a greeting card or a calendar.
(Haha that makes me sound old)
