All the noisy ones please. Curlew, bumblebee, fox, woodpecker. 👍 Cast your vote for the Bank of England's wildlife stars.

Early stroll. Morning sunlight embracing the trees. A vase of flowers illuminates a windowsill. The man who waits at that bus stop is waiting at another bus stop. That smudge used to be a puddle. Maybe someone is waving at me from that passing plane.

The parenting skills of Rapunzel’s witch may have been suspect, but she was an ace gardener Artist: Eric Winter

When you need to just have space and time out this is one of my absolute favourite spots. Great wildlife, amazing sunrise/ sunset viewing, lovely walks, and on bonfire night you have an all round firework display! Bonus = it's free and has parking 💚

The Common Blue, Small Copper, Large Skipper ‘Butterflies and Moths’ (1965) Artist: John Leigh-Pemberton

Early stroll. I practice the delicate art of walking and peeling an orange at the same time. A slug’s slow progress. A shouty man in a passing car. The Museum sign seems to point to me. A mirror lost in that hedge.

Happy Pride Love and solidarity always 🫶

May it be a good one. Remember there is much much more to life than doom scrolling

A perfect way to step away, just for a few short minutes.

The distinctive tower of Church of St Mary the Virgin at Oxenhope has been described as surprisingly "chunky." Rising only 44 feet, its broad, square proportions give it a solid, almost fortress-like appearance. Built in 1849 by Durham architects Ignatius Bonomi and

Early stroll. Clouds dominate the sky. A pair of trees mirror each other. A man in a red jacket waits for the first bus. The syntax of a long line of dropped crisps. A cockerel shouts at the world.

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday The people who make the biggest difference are often the ones who never notice it. They simply carry on, sharing kindness, compassion, and warmth wherever they wander. Be that person 🧡

An Envelope of Echoes

Panoramic view of the rolling landscape of Oakwell Hall Country Park just down the road from me. You wouldn't know it now but the 110-acre park was once the site of Gomersal Colliery (which operated from 1916 to 1973). Following the mine's closure and demolition, the former slag heaps

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

I like this poem by Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch from her new collection Milk Wood Memoir. I’ll be talking to Samantha soon for a future edition of The Verb.

Did you know the last visit by a Roman Emperor to Britain took place in 1400! Eastern Roman/Byzantine Emperor Manuel II was travelling Western Europe in search of allies. He met English King Henry IV at Eltham Palace for Christmas. #DidYouKnow #AncientRome #Romans #RomanFestival #History

Nature and weather in perfect harmony 💚

Who doesn't need happy animals on a sunny day

Early stroll. First shadows in first light. A snail’s silver trail like a ghost worm. A drying pattern from a spilled drink. The waste bins are numbered: I pass number 2300 like I do every day. The distant dance of birds in the distance.

A favourite. Fantastic live

It's a great poem. I read it in his voice!

You can see shocking footage of the state-sponsored police riot at Orgreave on the screen in the Rebellion! exhibition which has just opened at Newcastle City Library.

A reminder again that rivers and lakes can be extremely cold, deep and difficult to get out of. There may also be hidden hazards below the surface. Always check before you enter. If you find someone in difficulty in water in the Dales, call 999 and ask for Fire & Rescue.

Evening stroll image: the path through the field

Early stroll. The air’s welcoming coolness. Two pigeons like bookends on the pavement. Someone loads cases into a car boot. Sunlight through bus shelter windows. A man’s face framed by his hood.

Woman on her phone in Kings Cross: Yes but we all know Susan, that lovely as one is, a parakeet, is a far cry from a kitten.
