You provide the sand, the sea and the sun — Rob will provide the summer fun & laughter! Probably the funniest comedian you’ve never heard of! Although you’ve already been laughing at his jokes on some of the top comedy shows in Britain and the USA. IMDb: bit.ly/4eE9yxz Books: bit.ly/4hA0B7W

I saw a Trump version of the Zoltar fortune-telling machine on Paignton Pier. I asked it for some motivation, hope, and what the future holds for mankind over the next 2 ½ years. — It shut itself off!

A well-balanced story that combines heartfelt moments with exciting action. amazon.com/gp/product/B... #FAFOWolves #WhisperingPines #FantasyReaders @richellepublish

I still find it quite incredible that any coin I find made before the 1640's will be hand made, from start to finish. The skillsets back then were just quite incredible 🥰

I watched the "raw" coverage of #artemisII and remembered an earlier time in our history with national pride of moving humankind forward.

This was a joyful moment when Artemis II splashed down. Time moved at a different pace last night.

This time-lapse of the Artemis II splashdown makes me feel like I was in the capsule, and also skipped the 6 minutes when there was no communication. Sometimes it's good to step back for a view from a distance.

Rewilding farmland, soon after the trees spring up unplanted, a host of wildflowers and other ground flora move in, like this wood sorrel. Then come the insects, followed by birds and other animals. It's all just so beautiful, and so *hopeful*.

Wishing a lovely Easter weekend to all those celebrating 🐰 Here's an Easter poem from the Ronald Duncan Collection: 'No Easter egg, my child, Because I forgot to get one, But here's the song the primroses sing: Words by a daffodil, Notes by anemone: melody of silence.' 📷EUL MS 397/2/10/1

🔎 Tracing your family history? You might come across a bastardy bond — a fascinating record created when a child was born outside marriage. Here’s one example from the Borough of Launceston: John Goodenough, maltster, was named as the father of a child born to Sally Goodman in 1815. #familyhistory
