I dont think I've ever asked for a post to be 'shared' before, but l am now. Watch the video first, though, and you'll understand why.

The very uncharitable profits of JustGiving which takes fees, a cut of gift aid, and then asks donors for a tip! bit.ly/4nzZpDV much better to give directly to the charity, but if you do use JG always set tip to zero. But you can’t stop it snaffling some of the Gift Aid

People will be popping up to say ‘oh but Jessye Norman’. I have personal reasons for choosing that particular recording, namely that my father is playing the violin solo on it. So yes Jessye Norman, but also no.

Can you help Rachel? This sounds like such an interesting topic!

Just realised it would have been my father's 115th birthday today.

There is a cow in my yard. I do not own a cow nor do I have any neighbors who owns cows so this is a bit awkward.

Disappointed to realise it's not Sunday.

Many happy returns to Cornish wrestling legend Gerry Cawley! Read my interview with Gerry below… #cornwall #kernow #cornwall/kernow #cornish the-cornish-historian.com/2025/06/07/c...

I hope you've all had a lovely, fulfilling, joyous day, whatever form that takes. I've just cleaned up a monstrous pile of dog diarrhoea, burned my supper, and stubbed my big left toe. Tomorrow is another day 💪. Early to bed before I do some real damage...🤓

We're delighted to announce the publication of our new zine, Flow. It's by far our best and biggest publication yet, featuring 60 pages of work from 35 Dartmoor visual artists exploring the theme of flow across a diversity of styles and mediums, interweaved with the words of writer, Kirsteen McNish.

A glimpse through a doorway into another room is a familiar trick in Pierre Bonnard's interiors. Here in a work dated 1908, he's looking at Marthe de Méligny, his mistress, his frequent model, whom he finally married in 1925. The promised land, he's saying, is the room next door.

Big day out on the bike on an absolute belter of an Autumn day on Dartmoor. A bit of everything - big lung-busting climbs, sketchy heathery singletrack, rocky descents, some lovely gravel but also some hike-a-bike and mildly perilous river crossings. It was beautiful, and I'm slightly broken.

and 1930s, the figures in Martin Lewis' work initiate the emotion, though they’re no more individual and personal than the buildings; the story lives in the moment of the scene. He was a key mentor to the young Edward Hopper.

I'm not American, so I can't confirm that this is un-American, but it's certainly unIntelligent.

Vegan & vegetarian friends look away now‼️ Venison sausages for supper, made from the blighter that invaded the garden & ate the roses, PSB, French beans, & trampled all salad crops. With braised red cabbage, the remnants of PSB & beans, & some sweet potato wedges. All home grown. 😋 #GoodFood

'The Artist's Mother.' (1907) Despite Broncia Koller-Pinell being one of the most prominent female artists associated with Austrian Expressionism her legacy has faded into obscurity. This is no reflection on her achievements, including exhibiting work alongside Klimt and Schiele

I just discovered that podagra in Greek means foot trap; specifically it is medical term for gout that affects the joint located between the foot and the big toe, the metatarsophalangeal joint. And of course Aegopodium podagraria, aka goutweed, was used as a herbal treatment for it. 💚🌱🌿😊

I love being able to keep the windows open, especially at night. How many more evenings like this before the 100+ consecutive days of rain I wonder? 🤔 #Dartmoor

#AcademicSky Induction week ✅️ Week 1 ✅️ All seems to be well so far... Has anyone else noticed a different energy in this 1st yr cohort compared to the last 3 or 4? A bit less anxious, not as prone to looking at their feet & avoiding eye contact when you throw out a question?

Such a lovely day today welcoming back students who've been out on work placements or studying abroad. I've had miniscule direct involvement in their growth over the last 12 months, but oh my days! I'm so flipping proud of them I could burst @uofebusiness.bsky.social #BScBusiness #AcademicSky

I came across a word I hadn’t heard of recently, ‘odology’ is the ancient study of paths or roads. Here are four Autumnal roads and paths, Lane near Brentor church, footpath near Tavistock, lane near Creason woods, Tavistock’s old railway cycle path, #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography
