Forget -me-nots, growing wild and free, cheered mi up as I ambled past them on mi way to Aldi. 😁

I've just joined.

Saying good morning to mi mate Cyril. Pls click to 👂 Ta. 🐿️🤓

"Three young Barn Owls looking out of the quatrefoil of a church in North Norfolk."

Access to nature is also a social justice issue. It's also a class issue. What a breath of fresh air, hearing this take from the leader of a large political party.

Tis nice to stroll. Jubilee tower in the distance. Heather in the foreground. Outskirts of 'uddersfield. 😎

In our little council back garden we have a wonderful Japanese Crab Apple Tree - Malus Floribunda. Yesterday its flowers looked so pretty against a backdrop of a clear blue sky. Oh, isn't life wonderful when the sun shines. 🌞

There's nowt no surer. It's time for a sisemic shift in politics. 🤓

'twas a pleasant and sunny day in 'uddersfield yesterday. The cool wind, however, dampened my enthusiasm to sit reading outside. Oh, retirement is a wonderful thing! 😁The highlight of my day had to be seeing Jupiter in the early evening sky to the left of a waxing crescent moon. Pure joy! 😊👍

A happy St George's Day to one and all. Please note I'm no flag waving right winger, but a left wing, environmentalist, plant eater, with a social conscience, who is extremely proud, and grateful to have been born in old Blighty. 😊

Longwood Edge. On the outskirts of Huddersfield, offering a fantastic vista on a breezy Wednesday afternoon. @groomb.bsky.social 🤓

I bought a new houseplant today. Oh I do like looking after them. I like the unusual ones. The plant is called the common asparagus plant, sounds more like a vegetable to me, so I prefer the nicer sounding lace fern or asparagus grass. There is plenty of edges to this plant. #Edges 😊

I've really enjoyed reading this book. Hannah has moved me from the 'We're doomed Captain Mannering, I say, we're doomed' mind set, to one with a lot more hope in it. Her argument is supported by facts and legitimate figures. I like that. 👍😊

Tis 6.30am in the suburbs of 'uddersfield, and I'm listening to the wonderful dawn chorus. Then the jarring noise of a human, starting their selfish, noisy machine, ends my enjoyment. Pls click to listen to how the world should sound. 😊

Did u know? Some folks express their love of the natural world in poetry, or in paintings (I used to be a natural history artist before I retired). I now show my admiration, respect & concern for nature by creating an outside space that's as nature-friendly as possible. Go a bit more wild.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐞🐝🐸🦎

I grew up on a council estate in 'uddersfield'. I played football, cricket, and hide and seek in the streets. I also walked on the walls of people's gardens leaping over there gate. Tha never sees kids in the streets na more. Tis a shame. They don't know what there missin'. 🤔

A recent, and now regular visit to our garden, is a jay. Yep, a chuffin' jay, and I'm tickled pink. This morning Jonathan. Yep, named it. 😁Tried, his best to get food from an inappropriate bird feeder. It was in an out quicker than an American F 35 stealth fighter jet. #birds 🦉😊

Mi first chuckle of the day. 🤣 My sentiments exactly. 👍

It's 7.00 am in Huddersfield. It's raining. No surprise there then. My phone informs me that it feels like 1 degrees on the other side of our front door. I will stay inside. But oh, Wednesday gone, how different life was. The sun shone, cherry blossom appeared and said hello to me in our garden. 😊

Yesterday. 8.00 pm. I stepped outside from my warm abode into the chill of the night air. The moon played games with me behind grey clouds. I pondered on what the idiot across the pond was doing. History will be his judge. I went back inside into my safe world. 🤔

Thank goodness for that. Lets hope that this is the start of a green movement with politicians that we can trust, who do the right thing for the people and importantly the planet. Bring on the Greens. Yabba dabba doo. 😁

So, very true. I try my best to enjoy every minute of every day and appreciate the little things in life: watching birds eating their fill in my garden; squirrels up to all sorts of mischief. I love the weather, the moon shining bright at night. I'm just so happy to be alive. 😊

I love Beach Huts, people get so creative with them. #devon

A couple of weeks back, we were in Colwyn Bay. I took this shot of the town's very small pier. There is something about this image that provokes an inner feeling in me. 🤔 The town, may be struggling like many, but we both found it a pleasure to visit. 😊

There is something special about lighthouses. Smashing painting, Iranzy. 👍😊

Eats like my sister-in-law. 🤣

Last weekend we visited Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. Though the weather could have been better we had a smashing time. We thoroughly enjoyed a walk along the pier hovering above the Irish Sea.

By eck, today was a miserable, wet day, here in West Yorkshire. I stayed put indoors but my little feathered friends had no choice but to brave the weather and leave their protective, cosy hedges and seek food. Pls click to 🦻 Sithee later. 😊

'tis always a pleasure for the crazy gang to call for their breakfast. #birds 😊

At 9.00am this morning, as I looked out of the kitchen window into the back garden, Cyril, from on top of the shed, sat staring at me. He was basically demanding his breakfast. Impatient with my response he dangled over the shed and started to eat from a birdfeeder. Such a show off. 🐿️

t's nice to have friends who regularly pop by. Pls click to 👂Ta. 'Ave a smashing weekend. ☺️

Washing up at the kitchen sink this morning, I gazed out of the window onto mi little council garden and noticed: 2 collard doves, 2 wood pigeons, a robin, numerous house sparrows, a few coal tits and blue tits, a jay (wow!) a blackbird and two magpies - Ronnie and Reggie. And a squirrel: Cyril. 😊

Bye eck, it's bloody freezing outside this morning. So, have a thought for all the wildlife out there that might be thirsty. During this cold snap I'm putting water out daily. Can you spot the house sparrow taking a drink? Camouflage essential for survival for these lovely but defenseless birds. 🦉

I was browsing in a shop in 'uddersfield t'other day and noticed a bag for sale. The writing on it made mi chuckle. Born and bred - and still living - in said town, I understood the sentiment. 🤣

What a lovely capture. 👍 😊

I would be so thrilled to be able to feed birds like that. 👍😊

The scam was via a legitimate email address of a colleague asking if I was available on email in a few minutes. I then a few minutes later received the scam letter. Such 'shits'. Be on your guard. 😠

This is a scam I just received from someone pretending to be a colleague. Be aware. 😠

So little detail, yet captures winter beautifully. 👍

‘Fracture’ is now available as a limited edition print. Feel free to message me for more details.

The actions of the narcissistic world leaders to satisfy their egos has sickened me over recent years. The lack of backbone of the remaining leaders to condemn the actions of these idiots has also sickened me. So, to escape reality I have had a sudden urge to reread this masterpiece. 😊

Mi first chuckle of the day. 🤣

And a good morning to you, too. Ian. Have a smashing week. 😊

Love this tale....🍄

😱OMG. What a totally unprofessional, rude, aggressive and thoroughly unpleasant person Carole Malone is. Whatever the subject matter might have been, her right wing attitude of shouting down an opponent would have prevailed. Keep on doing what you are doing, Zack. 👍

The attention to detail is quite stunning. A painting within a painting. A beautiful work of art created nearly 400 years ago. Quite remarkable. 👍😊

Last night, as viewed from Huddersfield, a supermoon. Also know as the Hunter's moon or Harvest moon. I find it quite stunning the clarity you can get from a mobile phone. 😊

So, we'll go no more a roving So late into the night, Thought the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright. Lord Byron. ps. At 67 ah couldn't be bothered. commoner Lawrence Last night. 🤔
