This traditional Polish instrument was originally used by shepherds to let villagers know when the sheep were in the pastures. The #TrombitaBeskidzka is still played in religious ceremonies
Announcer waffling on about the sacrifices of WW2 and how "we are, all of us, the peace that followed."
While, inter alia, the Band of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are standing behind him playing.

How is a 3 valve bugle not just a trumpet?

Ah... The #EdinburghTattoo - one of my favourite things.
One year, one year (as I say every single year!)... It would be incredible though!
Edinburgh castle seen from Princes St.
Morning commute…
Did I mention that some of us are singing at the castle every night?
(I’m not there tonight, but other friends are!)

What happens when you place a GoPro onto a Tattoo drum?
You get epic sound, and the chance to experience what it’s like to join the Tattoo Massed Pipes and Drums march onto the @edinburghcastle.bsky.social Esplanade

It's OK chaps, it's one of ours... #edinburghtattoo
Sad that the tattoo is cancelled tomorrow.
Family now rebooked for another night instead.
Another logistical challenge for @singinthecity.bsky.social as they try to accommodate anyone who was only singing one or two nights.

Great pic from @tomduffinphotos.bsky.social!
I was at last night’s rehearsal for the tattoo with @singinthecity.bsky.social and it was amazing!
We’re not allowed to give away any secrets but it will be a show to remember.

Black linework tattoo covering the upper outer arm. The tattoo is of the Moomin house with a collection of characters interacting with it, the house and characters are drawn to look like they are being painted by a Moomin in the foreground of the tattoo.

In this photo you can see Snufkin sitting against the house to the left of the front door, Too-ticky standing on the path leading from the door and Thingumy and Bob running between the two.
I had so much fun designing this Moomin tattoo for Morag!
I have to thank Morag for teaching me so much about Tove Jansson and the Moomins during our sessions & for coming up with the idea of having Moomin painting the house!
