A little #TreeClub entry from yesterday, captured at the lovely Wentworth Woodhouse estate in Yorkshire.
Gorgeously sunny and blustery, me snapping pictures of trees while my friend the amazing @hellingtonboots.bsky.social was running the Rotherham 10K and doing a fantastic job of it too! 💪🏻

So a couple of days very hard graft, the highlight without a doubt was as HOS for a Great Gatsby 1920's themed ball at the quite spectacular Ely Cathedral.
I woke across a huge range of locations but this has to be one of the most beautiful, I mean just LOOK at that ceiling! 😍

Jeez, you point out to the rabid Palestinian Action supporters that they HAVE used violence and rather stupid 'protest' tactics of attacking defence assets and pearl clutching starts!
If you 'Protest' by hurting people and damaging non-combat military stuff, do NOT be surprised at the reaction.

Seems the Scottish independence fantasy crowd on BlueSky are just as snowflakey as they are on Twitter.
"We own ALL the resources" "England owes us everything" nonsense as usual
I love Scotland but these clueless imbeciles do nothing to advance the real independence voices who do make sense.

Had some "non-binary art photographer" trying to insult me because being ex forces and Police means all I do is "lick boots" and he (she) "KNOWS that paint in an aircraft engine could NEVER make it crash"

And then to Download Festival, muddy fields and keeping big names safe from the clamouring hoards.
The things we do to earn money eh 😂
