Great views of the firecrest along the River Aire at Methley this morning. Then spent 45 minutes staring through a wire fence at a sewage works, failing to find a water pipit. 10/10 would recommend. #UKbirding

Inspired by the guy who had never heard of the Odyssey, here’s a thread of books you should at least KNOW about, if you want to be culturally literate.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.

Morning all. My gallery is now on Bluesky too! It's a real gallery full of real pictures by real people, and it's just over there behind the pier.
Hello Bluesky, and a very good morning from #Brighton beach.

🌱 Tidying up the garden is a job for the spring, not the autumn. All these dead leaves & stems provide shelter for overwintering insects like bees, lightning bugs, and moths & butterfly pupa. The seedheads provide winter food for birds. #LeaveTheLeaves #GrowNative #Wildlife #Gardening #Insects
