Me entering 2026.

Trump's already making noises about taking Greenland. Meanwhile Starmer is giving interviews saying there's no relationship more important than Britain's relationship with the USA.

Nothing says "We would shut the Senedd given the chance." like not bothering to take part in Senedd election debates.

Crop marks reveal the #Roman fort of #Trimontium 🌾 Set beside the River Tweed and below the #Eildon Hills, it housed thousands at its height, including soldiers, civilians, women, and children. The site was first identified in the 19th century and excavated by James Curle between 1905 and 1910.

The US is not a reliable ally in any way. A person that fails to see that should not be prime minister.

All the Christmas decorations are down, the chocolates are all eaten and it's back to work tomorrow.

me thinking about global heating accelerating faster than most predictions, as a dying economic system murders its way into oblivion and builds warehouses dedicated to increasing emissions

These Tory ministers sold profitable harbours like Ardrossan to enable shareholders to milk rather than to maintain them, Labour then did nothing and now the SNP Government is blamed for not buying it back quick enough? 👇 talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/04/t...

2026 has started with a strong sunset game

The travellers’ fluffy mares are in foal on Night Common and they smell divine

Mark Steele on #bbcbh: Starmer's great talent is to say nothing and a week later to go back on it

Highlands use their horns for foraging; scratching; communicating with each other; regulating body temperature… and keeping their packed lunch 👌 #arnbegfarmstayscotland #highlandcow

The front seat of the DLR. Still available. And in a frame. darrenhaymanart.com

Avebury in snow. #StandingStoneSunday

Fascinating. And obv it gives the lie to the old "Nobody could have imagined that home video recorders would come along" excuse for junking.

Currently thinking about that legendary Frankie Boyle bit about the US military and how they will not only invade your country and kill all of your people but then they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad

Sad news via Instagram - Ingeborg Pertwee, mother of Sean, widow of Jon, has died.

Stark and otherworldly - sunset at Mitchell’s Fold, the Bronze Age stone circle on Stapeley Hill. I got this shot at the tail end of a blizzard, when the sky took on a golden glow that made a spectacular contrast with the snow-covered landscape. It was every bit as cold as it looks. #Shropshire

Snow approaching Shieldaig yesterday morning.

Beautiful snowshoe up the Quoich today. I was out to snap my winter pics for a number of seasonal fixed-point photos I'm steadily assembling....but I gave up half way through when the heavy stuff started again. No matter, there's always tomorrow 🙂

Sunday

The lovely curve of the Kylesku Bridge in Sutherland, which replaced a ferry - or a 100 mile detour - in 1984. In our view this must be one of the most beautiful examples of the bridge-builder's art anywhere in the world. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #Kylesku

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

"We don't condemn it, but we absolutely wouldn't ever do it ourselves. Because we would rightly be condemned."

Me, just after opening the loft hatch and finding my wife had not clipped the extending ladder properly when she went up before Christmas.

Nice out in Dumfries today #RiverNith #Titanic

I believe Trump represents a few rich pedophiles & their pals. They are a very small percentage of the American people. There are so many good Americans - the rest of the world is hoping they stand up - we will stand with them against this evil.

Very exciting start to the New Year here at Trev Towers #ShitPost

I do absolutely adore Mister Wilfred. Do adopt older cats. They're often left alone in the shelters. They don't understand why their previous people couldn't stay with them. And then they're alone in a place full of noise and other cats. Yet they make the best pets when you adopt them.

English law has always been excessively harsh toward the public, especially the poor and those with little wealth. But here is an example of #EnglishLaw protecting the criminal rich.

This illegal invasion of another country while its citizens sleep is a cynical act of American imperialism. The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar. Greens stand against this contempt of international law. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

Chippy Tea, painting by Manchester-born Anthony Marn.

Who better to lecture people on pariotism than the lazy, incompetent, compulsive liar who partied while people died, agreed the worst Brexit deal possible, lied to Parliament, ignored the Ministerial Code and promoted sex pests?

Mossley, now in Tameside, is a former cotton spinning town where the historic borders of Lancashire, Cheshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire meet in one place. Derbyshire isn't far away either. Painting is 'Old Milltown', a montage by Chris Cyprus.

Blimey though...

When you get a job for life and are not elected you get a pass to steal millions £££ over the years, or if you are Lady Mone you can do this is one go. Abolish the HoL and replace it with an elected people’s chamber. 😡😡😡

Can't describe the amount that being here does not suck
