Note to self: When cutting back bramble, leave the cuttings overnight in the garden....I ended up taking several ladybirds to the recycling centre today. When I opened the boot, they were all sitting on top of the bramble. I almost closed it & drove them all back home! #UKGardening 🌱

Currently reading & enjoying 'The Wildlife Gardener' by Kate Bradbury. Lots of ideas for providing food & shelter in gardens of all sizes. Beautiful photography by Julie Watson. #Booksky 💙📚 #Gardening #UKGardening 🌱

Finally a dry day. Dug up several clumps of something that has invaded the neglected parts of the garden. Thanks to my plant encyclopaedia & checked on RHS website, I now know it's pendulous sedge. #UKGardening 🌱 1/2

#UKGardening 🌱 Hoping to get over to the Seed Swap on 28th February 2026 I emptied my coin purse at the Autumn harvest event (Hadley) 2025- I'm a sucker for a homemade cake. 🤗

Newly released files show a sworn FBI tip alleging Trump threatened a girl with “disappearing” and said he could have her entire family killed. Signed under penalty of perjury. Why isn’t this front page news? #EpsteinFiles #Trump #Accountability #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AwMacA1UYTiy...

I don't know where the #BBC News 'found 'Carrie Sheffield'. If your protest sign isn't handwritten you must be a 'professional protestor'. 🙄 We really don't need this pre-school mentality. Please BBC find a grown-up to talk to.

Good News - I hope we can now separate out the true message of Christianity from the old cultural prejudices of the past. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Of all 'restricted activities' following eye surgery the worst has to be; No gardening for 2 weeks 😞 🌱 #UKGardening

Been raining all day here in Shropshire. Quick look around. Primulas going strong in the front border & peonies looking fine after being covered in snow last week. #UKGardening 🌱

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

And the Nobel Raspberry Award goes to... 👇

When I posted last year, that someone should open a little shop selling plastic trophies on Pennsylvania Ave so that people visiting the WH had a gift for the current tenant.. I didn't think anyone would actually do it. 👇

Jenrick said he wanted to put Reform UK out of business... Jenrick joined Reform UK. This is one ambition I hope he achieves.

Watching #BBC rolling news headlines: US announces phase 2 of Gaza Peace Deal UK advises against all but essential travel to Israel There are ways of saying 'we don't trust you one bit'

Just a reminder - #GardenersWorld BBC2 8pm tonight 1 of 4 Looks like Toby Buckland will be hosting. ☺️ 🌱 #UKGardening

Is it normal for officers to leave the scene of a fatal shooting before the emergency services have arrived? 🤔

💔💔💔💔💔"Please spread the word. Vigil scheduled for 5:00 today at E. 34th Street and Portland Ave S. in Minneapolis for woman murdered by ICE agents." www.facebook.com/share/1AZSTm...

"You can't change the world, you've just got to do your little bit," says Pru Tomes, the chair of Beverley Urban Gardeners (BUG). #allotmentlife #🇬🇧🌱 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New Year. New Perennial Edibles! 🌱 Earthed Up! Nursery online shop is open. Interesting plants + biochar in stock. I know it's cold but most things are very limited (& can be started under cover). This is a tough time of year for us so all shares appreciated 💚 #permaculture earthedup.com/plants/

How many days before those US 'military assets' that have left the UK for mainland Europe turn up in Greenland? No war declared - so no NATO treaty officially 'broken'. Just more GIs than native Greenlanders - plus a McDonalds. 🤷‍♀️ #Greenland

Sadly our hope of a 'Happy' New Year has been thwarted by a maniac and his fanatical followers. I get that he is as mad as a box of frogs but they can't ALL want to start WWIII Is it mass hysteria - or is there something wrong with the water in parts of the USA? 🤷‍♀️ #Greenland #Venezuela

This is why I’m here: 🧵Trigger warning: suicide I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice. Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

I was in my forties before my older sister told me she was transgender. She said: If you don't want me in your life anymore, I will understand We hug more I found out that I can sign this @transparentaction.bsky.social petition as a family member or friend - so I did tinyurl.com/transparenta...

26 December 2025 Trump parades Zelensky before the world press & has 2 private calls with Putin. Could it be he & Putin wanted to distract us from this? 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz6u...

#BoxingDay - when the church used to give 'boxes' of Alms to the poor. In modern times it is the day to make donations of money to charities that provide shelter and/or food to those in need.

My thanks to the #KingsSpeech Christmas Day 2025 for broadcasting this beautiful Carol of the Bells - for #Ukraine youtu.be/V7nSKqfBk6k

Let us light up the world and give HOPE some company tonight. #WinterSolstice #Christmas #OneWorld

Another 'lost and found' path & if I am not mistaken - a Belfast sink! I wonder if I could turn into a little pond - or bog garden. 🤗 🌱 #UKGardening

A Catholic was mocking a Mormon for having an advent calendar, claiming that it was 'Catholic culture'. I pointed out that it was from German (Lutheran) culture. They blocked me. 🤷‍♀️ Reposting - can anyone explain why advent calendars have taken on a deep 'Catholic' meaning? 👇 #Advent

Remember: 'There has never been a president who communicates...as openly or as authentically' OH - OK... So did someone leave the lens cap on? 🤔 #DementiaTrump

Primroses & primulas in December - another first in my garden. #UKGardening 🌱GB

Peonies...in December?. 🤔 🌱GB #UKGardening

Was cutting back the herbaceous peonies. Not sure I like seeing new shoots this side of Christmas. 🤔 #UKGardening 🌱

Good neighbours looking out for each other. More of this please USA.

No we haven't missed Gardeners' World. It is on at 9 pm tonight. ☺️ 🌱 #UKGardening

@jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social 'Don't tell 'em, Pike.' 👇 🤣

Is this why Andrew M-W is keeping his mouth shut, here in the UK? 🤷‍♀️ #Epstein

He betrayed the Afghan people and their allies. He will betray Ukraine and her allies.

Hope is here. Help us beat Reform in May. Donate today ⤵️

@kemibadenochmp.bsky.social Couldn't stand another minute of Badenoch responding to the budget. Getting your goons to chant 'up' and 'down' as if it's a game show is so disrespectful to the HoC & the public. This is not the way I expect elected MPs to behave in Parliament.

Just unsubscribed from #Indeed #LinkedIn & #Totaljobs Subscribing just gives them licence to spam inboxes with 'any job' in 'any location' whilst claiming to have specific job titles in a specific location. 😡 It can't be that difficult to make a search criteria filter that actually 'works'. 🤷‍♀️

Watching #BBC4 TV - The Magic of Mushrooms with Prof Richard Fortey. I usually think of him as the fossil man. #UKGardening 🌱 #Fungi

I can't remembers ever seeing buds on this yellow (and very fragrant) rose in November before. #UKGardening 🌱GB

...we've got one thing the Phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop making funeral pyres and jumping into [them].

Trump - making his bid for the Nobel Prize for Physics...🤦

Oh dear...! #TheTelegraph has been praised by Trump. I think their credibility just hit rock bottom. 🤣

I can't believe that the BBC news channel is talking about some random tv gameshow called 'Traitors'. I thought the point of a news channel was that it showed...the news. Time to switch over & put the kettle on.

Anyone interested in investing in a pop-up shop in Pennsylvania Ave selling plastic 'peace' trophies with a sticky label to personalise the inscription with the customer's organisation so that it reads eg #FIFA Peace Prize? A 'must have' for those visiting the WH to gift to the US president.

Presumably, giving Mr A Mountbatten-Windsor accommodation on the Sandringham Estate means he won't be fleeing the country while investigations are ongoing. 🤔 #AMountbatten-Windsor
