Landed at @Fly_YYJ early evening yesterday from LHR via YVR. I now have five weeks on this fantastic Pacific Island. If I have a happy place, it is no doubt here. #yyj.

I sit here in Bath, UK, with little risk but the welfare of others keep me alert. I have family in Tampa - hurricanes, tornados, flooding, extreme heat. In #YYJ - earthquakes, tsunami, fire. In Sheerness, where the littlest ones live - the SS Richard Montgomery and possibly too much ice cream.

Saw this loverly flowering bush in Imola, Italy. Not identified it yet but I love the way the petals come off the centre on a tangent. Flowers about 30mm across.

Bluebells and wild garlic just a couple of hundred metres apart close to my home in Bath, UK. Neither area, despite being very close, do not have the flowers mixing.

Judas Tree near my house is coming into bloom in the spring sunshine. It has struggled at times growing so far north of its home turf on the Med but it's looking healthy to my eyes.

Just a few tens of metres from my house and a few hundred metres from the centre of Bath (UK) are steep enbankments covered in a blanket of wild garlic. The smell is strong and the sight will improve as they come into flower.

Pink shirt day here in Canada. I'm so pleased to be part of this important initiative - best bit picking up my host's little one from school in a matching tee.

@snufflewort.bsky.social Allotments, individual plots in a large field. Cheaply rented. A collection of tool sheds, fruit trees, net cages, water butts, compost bins and vegetables. Wrong time of year to see them but these are less than a breakwater length walk from the tourist centre of the city.

A Happy New Year from me in Bath, UK where it is currently quiet in tourist central. It will likely be busier later to hear the Abbey bells at midnight.
