"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Has FIFA awarded Ms. Trump an Oscar yet?

You don’t choose the scone life. The scone life chooses you.

Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Suddenly interest from Jack at the next table when breakfast arrived....

I've eaten Lidl Deluxe Creamy Coleslaw for years. This 'new look' one is definitely NOT the 'same great taste' owing to the presence of something called 'liquid sugar' AND 'sugar syrup'!? It tastes sweet - utterly horrific and I ended up scraping it into the bin. WHO puts sugar into coleslaw FFS??!

I'm genuinely fed up of constantly intense politics and the news being dominated by the words and actions of absolute scumbags... These f**kers need to realise they're here to serve us, then shut up and get on with it.

Yes... I had both the Cajun pork sandwich (on ciabatta with chorizo, emmental cheese, sweet and spicy pickles and apple mustard) AND the smoked haddock, bacon and clam chowder, (with herb oil, sourdough croutons and dill)... #hiddenhut

Nice New Year's Day stroll around the Roseland earlier. The odd seal and rainbow, here and there...

Our ancestors lived here, on these cliffs, 1000 years before Jesus was born... A beautiful, wild and windy day in #Cornwall

Fantastic news. The Erasmus programme was what I was a part of when I was a student & exchanged with a university in France. One of the best things I have ever done & changed my life.

⚠️ Stand-off in Sheringham: Local campaigners have spent the past three nights camping out overnight in an extraordinary bid to save a 1950s Streamline Moderne style bus shelter in Norfolk, thwarting council contractors who attempted to demolish the structure at 2am. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's decided. Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all. Energy independence starts now. → link.europa.eu/tykVJf

Saturday - coast path and the Hidden Hut for a spot of lunch... #cornwall

'A Wiltsire Landscape,' (1928) casts up an early morning mood - a magic realm. By the time of this work, William Nicholson had married Edie Stuart-Wortley and moved to the Old Manor House in the village of Sutton Veny in Wiltshire.

Portrait Artist of the Year judging.. '..it doesn't need that precise likeness...'. YES IT DOES. When i'm expecting a portrait of Beth Rigby, I don't expect a picture of Bamber Gascoigne or a box of cornflakes with eyes to win the day. New judges PLEEEEASE!!

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Wonderfully autumnal Sunday out there, with the lunchtime temptations of a carvery at St Mabyn or the Smoked Sirloin and brisket at St Kew.... mmmmmm....

How to be a Ladybird man, part 20. Smoke a pipe. Never cigarettes. Always a pipe Artist: Robert Ayton (The Weather, 1962)

Reminds me of the River Fowey at Respryn woods...

God love Kew, this is incredible

Polzeath and Pentire for breakfast and an early morning stroll...

Time for a cuppa after a couple of hours on the coast path...

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are 🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally 🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face 🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose #r4today

Nice spot to indulge in some van brewed #origincoffee

A bit of stormwatching in Porthleven. A NW isn't the wind for the big waves into the harbour but it was still fresh and invigorating...

🔥 Britain is about to launch a new GCSE in natural history – a vital step toward restoring our knowledge of and respect for the natural world.

Wandering back from the village earlier this week...

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.” —Soren Kierkegaard

Dorrit Black is a significant painter in Australia for bringing a form of cubism to the country in the late 1920s. This picture shows the village of Mirmande in the Drôme Valley, France, where her mentor André Lhote founded a summer art school.

View from the office... #Launceston #cornwall #kernow

I struggle to take any of this seriously if I’m honest because I genuinely believe if all social media got deleted tomorrow, this would all just stop. So much of our public culture, life, discourse and disharmony is drafted from, amplified by and made real by phone addiction. It’s all fake.
