I often sing this lovely ballad to my dog Rosie. One day I shall visit Dublin, and the south west of Ireland where some of my ancestors are from. One day!! Maybe I'll be able to join in singing this in some pub or other www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T7O...

Young Salers cattle who were very interested in Rosie and me.

IT'S FASCISM!!

No 10 blocks report on impact of rainforest collapse on food prices Downing Street has vetoed release of an assessment that says the loss of the Amazon ecosystem could drive up food inflation as well as lead to mass migration www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Just look at this little cutie! A newish SalersxCharolais calf in the field at the top of the track.

Reform UK’s Councillor Dave Poole has put out this bizarre graphic littered with spelling errors. Our favourite part is where it says Reform UK keeps being called the ‘fat right’.

For goodness sake just retire the lot of them. All their properties and land to the state. We’d save huge amounts of money and do away with their time wasting soap opera nonsense. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

No matter what trump says No matter what he does No matter the distractions

I like it when French radio presenters make mistakes with English pronunciation as it makes me feel better when I slip up in French. France Bleu radio is currently playing Whooze That Girl apparently 😅

European leaders mock Trump for claiming to make a peace deal between Albania and Azerbaijan for a war that never existed. The Albania Prime minister Rama jokingly asked Macron why he hadn’t congratulated him on the peace deal. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/A-iM9ejs3TBC...

This happens to be the same police station where horrific WhatsApp messages were exchanged involving the policeman who killed Sarah Everard. Sorry but Met Police chief has not been doing nearly enough to clear up the mess he inherited. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

No! Really?! 🫥🫥🫥

Well if that's not the last lawn cut of the year I'm stuffed because it's nearly killed me! And I don't have physio this week because her only free slot was late on and I really don't like driving in the dark - at all - these days.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Breaking news.

Talk to me again about why we should have the royal family? I mean Prince Andrew getting a free ticket to see Epstein under the cover of the NSPCC is beyond parody

Blast from the past now, listening to Steeleye Span's Spanning the years and singing along. Never could match Mady Prior's soprano. Certainly not now! So I'm joining Tim Hart down in the tenor range 🤣

Worrying debate on digital ID, people saying everyone these days has smartphone internet social media. No they don't. My cousin 90+ has none of the above. Yet I would back her memory and mental acuity against anyone. Remembers everything we talk about week on week. I don't!!

🤭😝😅😂🤣 BRILLIANT!

Is there a Tottier present than this?? From the lovely ladies at the library who seem to think I needed a pressie for doing talks and English sessions there! I do them because I love it, but their gesture is perfect and very much appreciated!

To understand the sculpture you must first become the sculpture.

Hello @jimmyrosiesdad.bsky.social I'm Tottie another Rosie's mum. Nice to meet you.

What a fabulous review! Thank you so much. prdgreads.home.blog/2025/09/22/b...

Ed Davey, "Nigel Farage helped cause the small boat problems, because before Brexit we had 27 return agreements with the EU" - maybe call them Brexit boats?

Really fascinating piece and well worth a watch.

I just managed to scald the inside of my wrist on steam from the kettle. I do not recommend this. Definitely don't try it at home!!!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Rosie and I will shortly be going over to Dogtonville to cook our supper on the rocket stove then sleep in our lovely tent. Forecast not good for the weekend though, so we'll take it down tomorrow and be boringly growed up sleeping in the house for a bit.

Rosie and I always go for a look from the bird hide, but not about at this time of year.

Back from a lovely walk at the lake. More pix to come when I remember how to download from Bofypoo.

Chicken curry and green beans on the rocket stove with zero fuel costs. Yummy!

Sad. Excellent film.

Hooray! Found Cry, the Beloved Country on DVD for a decent price. So now I can watch Sidney Poitier <swoon> playing the role said to be based on my brother's godfather. How cool is that??

Bit of a racial divide in the cattle field this morning. Salers v Charolais!

Isn't the memory weird? I can still remember the first verse of Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika in Xhosa as taught to me and my brother by his African godfather Fr Leo Rakale CR in the early 60s. Can I remember that important thing I need to do today???

Look at this lovely fellow we met in Dogtonville last night! There was another one but the phone was out of battery.

Love love LOVE this!!! I so want to see a flashmob once in my life! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJc...

Legolas, fastest and lightest of my tents is now deployed and ready for action!

Exactly this 👇🏽

Slingshot News: During remarks at a press briefing, Trump scrambled to justify his destruction of climate regulations by trying to explain rain to reporters. Trump stated, "You know it comes down from heaven, right?" If by heaven, you mean clouds, sure.🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Do you ever look at some people on your Followers list and think 'Why??' Can't be the drink as there was no Internet when I turned teetotal.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. When the GOP let the ban expire in 2004 they increased by 243% - don’t try to say bans don’t work, the data doesn’t lie.

Thought moths were dull and brown? Think again! This colourful lot were found by the gardeners at Sheffield Park and Garden in East Sussex during their moth surveys: - poplar hawk moth - elephant hawk moth - white ermine - buff ermine Photos: Nick Dibble

My English group today, we had a good time and covered some interesting subjects. For homework. I want them to watch this short video then to talk about it. I want them to say how it made them feel. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=939...
