This is the only narcissus i want on here today. Happy Easter!

Barry (@barmas.bsky.social) reflects on cider’s role in conservation, highlighting the connection between consumer choices and orchard preservation, biodiversity and cultural heritage.

such a great idea too, I’ve been wanting to do this in Monmouthshire and Forest of Dean, would be a great spotting activity.

Here is a poem about a very old Pear Tree, Ma Dame Pyrus, which was a delightful discovery when I purchased the house with a small old orchard. Hope you enjoy [email protected] @rosscider.bsky.social @orchardnotes.com @barmas.bsky.social

splendid

@ciderreview.bsky.social Just racked off the 2025 perry and cider, and another year’s cycle begins again!

Trump: "We're gonna have to force ourselves upon them, which we have the right to do"

Cuckooflower, bluebell, wood anemone, and dog violet all dancing in the gentle springtime sun in the Wye Valley

The sheep greeting me at sunrise today here in Glastonbury.

Good morning, BlueSky

spring blossom in SE London

Interesting. Will Swan Lake be coming to a cinema near you soon?

Et tu JD?

The UK Parliament welcomed President Zelensky with a standing ovation. This applause is not for one man. It is for a nation that refuses to kneel. For people who wake up to sirens and still choose to live, to fight, to endure.

TV tonight: a furious drama about water companies dumping raw sewage

We’re watching #DirtyBusiness tonight at 9pm. Are you? 👀💧 To launch @channel4tv.bsky.social's explosive new factual drama, 4Creative has unveiled The Fountain of Filth on London’s South Bank - a bold installation forcing Britain’s #sewagescandal into the spotlight.. 🧵1/2

“Prof Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to clean water, has singled out the English system for criticism, saying water should be managed as a publicly owned service, rather than run by private companies set up to benefit shareholders.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

👉 YOUR VOICE MATTERS: Help end the toxic sewage sludge scandal! 💩 Toxic #SewageSludge is STILL spread on farmland in England under outdated rules. The risks have been known for years. Solutions exist. Now the Government must decide whether to strengthen the rules… 🧵1/2 bit.ly/4aYbNZj

Fish Legal launches Judicial Review which targets the River Wye Diffuse Water Pollution Plan, published by EA at end of 2025. This is great news. See our response to the plan from last year here: bsky.app/profile/save...

“The EA’s own plan accepts that the Wye will not recover under current approach. When the law requires action, regulators cannot...postpone hard decisions yet again. After years of delay & continuing damage to a protected river, that is no longer lawful.” Fish Legal 💪 fishlegal.net/2026/03/05/e...

💩The private water companies in England would like the stink around Dirty Business to go away. Don't let it. 💪Join us and keep fighting to bring water into public ownership. vist.ly/4v6am

It is a sewage scandal that is decades old and nothing is really being done to stop it. The EA needs to be replaced with something effective and there should be prosecution of officers of WCos, with dividends and profits to be made to remediate facilities and certified before they can resume.

Thanks to Trump, America has never looked more isolated.

Trump spent the past year trashing our long time allies, blowing up established alliances, starting unnecessary trade wars, invading countries, and launching a disaster of a war of choice in a volatile region with no plan or explanation. And now he wants to beg Europe for help cleaning up his mess?

That was an excellent 6Nations tournament. Congrats France, and what a match with England that was!

Currently staying on the Palm, Dubai where there has been an night of bombing and jets. We are safe but its a small inkling of what the brave people of Ukraine have endured for 4 years!!

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

investigation into Epstein murder? What happened to that

Dutch Defense Minister shared an update

$10B for Trump's "Board of Peace" $10B for Trump's IRS lawsuit $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $135M for Trump's golf outings The Grifter-in-Chief knows no bounds.

exactly that

When Ukraine wants to buy weapons, the U.S. doesn’t sell them - so we turn to Europe, Europe restored production, and now Trump is angry. What the hell is wrong with them? 🤦

BBC: UK has not given US permission to use RAF bases for Iran strikes

Witkoff: "Mr President, it is my greatest honor to work for you. It is the blessing in my life. I've had many blessings. But this is my greatest blessing."

We were never russian. We survived empires before. We’ll outlive this one too🇺🇦

russians wanted obedience. They created a nation that will never obey again.

I might try that out next time i’m in court to see how that goes!!!

So that should certainly be investigated.

Is the dam about to break.

❗️Sport does not mean mindlessness, and the Olympic movement should help stop wars, not play into the hands of the aggressor, - Zelenskyy reacted to the disqualification of Ukrainian athlete Heraskevich.

couldnt agree more

Mykhailo Heraskevych, you raised an incredible son. His act made the whole world talk about Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia. We are all incredibly proud of Vladyslav!

U.S. military aid to Ukraine in 2025 has dropped by 99%, according to the Ukraine Support Tracker. At the same time, assistance from the EU has increased by 67%. Overall, the total volume of aid has remained roughly at the level of previous years.

She wants to talk about fake economic claims over the biggest child sex trafficking ring in the history of the world?? That’s an assertion of values and if you agree with her, those are your values too: that money is more important than systematized child rape by a cabal of wealthy people
