As a big fan of 'Escape to the Country' and of Jonny himself, I am very saddened and upset about this news.
Rest in Peace, Jonnie Irwin. Sending love to his family.

I think Chris is a good guy, but this enthusiasm seems naive.
If nothing else, the current administration has made us *very* wary of trusting their machinations - or literally anything they say or do.
This smells... bad.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

My granddad, Albert Harris, (left) C. 1915, heading off to France, I suppose.
All were hoping it wasn't the last photo they'd pose for.
Luckily, Albert made it back and my Da was born in 1927.

I've been patiently waiting for 'King & Conqueror' on Prime and it's finally here.
And they start the first ep out with a Prima Nocta, so I'm already giving this the side-eye.
But if 1066, Battle of Hastings, Harold Godwin and William the Bastard are your thing - you might enjoy this.

This is such a lovely discussion about... love
When do you actually just see two men on a screen talking about how much they love their partners?

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.
