This is so lovely. London is blessed with having so many parks and commons. Emma captures that wonderful feel of a little bit of the rural in the urban

I usually get involved in toad patrolling, but not physically capable this year. If you can, give it a go - it's fascinating

Here's one for all you lazy immigrant benefit scroungers out there

This is such a no-brainer. If some millionaires are willing to chip in a bit more to help our country, then why can't others? Think what a bit of extra cash would do to help the NHS? #TaxTheSuperRich

This is how I'll be spending my Saturday morning. I'll probably see woodpeckers, but not the others. Loads of goldfinches, bluetits, plus the odd nuthatch I expect. Who else is doing this?

Plenty of these lovely little goldies in my garden at the moment. Love them!

Beauty, skill and kindness combined. The earth needs more of these qualities

Wow! The creation of such beauty makes me think there is still hope for the human race

So many Tory MPs are jumping ship and joining Reform. But shouldn't their constituents have a chance of deciding what Party represents them?

Europe must stand together. Don't let the playground bully have his way. British friends, please read and sign if you can

Made me laugh. Made me angry. But above all, made me so glad I've discovered Jesse Welles

Something beautiful for a dull Monday

I remember Zahawi saying this. Anyone else?

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

It's Plough Monday - and music sessions in pubs throughout the land will no doubt be playing the extremely dull 'Speed the Plough'. Beautiful artwork, though

Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.

What a lovely story. So many Americans just want peace. If the ICE thugs hassle these men, I dread to think what might happen

Good Move, Denmark 🇩🇰 👏🏻

Greenland is not for sale! Will Keir Starmer stand by his own words here? We know he's not averse to the odd U-turn. We can't let this happen

86 years ago Charlie Chaplin said this. We are actually even further from it now than we were then.

The Labour Party has lost so much credibility under Starmer. If they went down this route, it might just restore it a tiny bit

We send love to our American friends. Stay strong. And @whitehouse-47.bsky.social we see you for what you are and witness your corruption and disinformation.

Just a little bit of beauty to reaffirm that human beings are still capable of doing joyous, life-affirming things. It's a shitty world but there are still little pockets of wonder

No decent person or nation should have anything to do with the orange monstrosity. 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.

I used to enjoy the delusional posts by @whitehouse-47.bsky.social . I enjoyed the responses even more. But the account has been quiet for over a month now. I wonder why? Anyone would think the US Government and its orange fuhrer was disliked round here.

Really proud to have been part of the editorial team working on this fantastic book by Teresa Dellbridge . It's packed full of facts, myth and legend, and ideas for things to do to get closer to the world of trees. Highly recommended.

I've been a Labour voter for most of my adult life, but they have so lost their way. I voted Lib Dem at the last Election, but I'm not seeing any strong strategies there. It's got to be @greenparty.org.uk. Don't let Reform turn our country into Trumpland. Please listen to @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Heroines of my youth. Amazing women, all of them

Teehee. I work with one of these

Just look at this! So much beauty created with a needle and thread ❤️

Emily Bronte, vicar's daughter who lived a reclusive, and probably oppressive life with her equally talented sisters and brother in a remote part of Yorkshire. What a family!

Every supermarket has a collection point. Please give whatever - tea/coffee, pasta sauce, biscuits - it won't bankrupt you! Or tampons/sanitary towels, shower gel, toothpaste.. You never know when you might need help. Thanks @elainecolliar.bsky.social and all the other amazing people who do this x

My little bit of gorgeousness of the day. People's brilliant creativity in a dark and gloomy world never fails to uplift

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Land of my ancestors. She even looks a bit like my lovely Mémé ❤️

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Look at this graph, Reform almost all of them went to Private School. If you are Working Class and you vote for Reform, you are a traitor, to yourself. Or as we call them, a bloody fool.

I can't help feeling sorry for those poor fools in Clacton who voted for Farage. I wonder if they'll get the message. Or will it still all be the fault of them bloody immigrants?

Wow. Totally stunning

100 Heroines is a lovely little photo museum. Seek it out if you can

Part of my daily dose of visual gorgeousness

Not sure what action could be taken against highlighting an open secret. @ledbydonkeys.org just tell the truth

But you can pour a cup of coffee down the sink and that's ok. And water companies can tip sewage into our waterways and that's ok. Summat not quite right here

While this is undeniably beautiful, my first reaction was 'ooh, that'd be a nightmare to dust.' l am turning into my mother.
