A Willerby butterfly
is silently singing
Glad That I Live Am I
only her daisy friends can
hear her loud and clear
and when she takes a bow
they’ll applaud and cheer
and demand an encore,
like they did the last time
and the time before.

I love this - they could have just picked 10 pics, replaced the old, tatty ones and had done with it. But involving the public - and having the local newspaper driving the voting campaign - is a great idea. 💚
📸 Thank you to everyone who's voted so far on the Withernsea Riff-Raff photos project!

Caller put the phone down hastily after I said it would be a tenner to put an ad in for a £1,600 electric bike. Then there are those who come out in a fit of the vapours when we ask if they want to advertise with us. People forget that the Gazette is a small local business too.

Up to now the BBC News channel has said this happened "off the coast of Hull", interviewed the Hull City Council leader (but not the East Riding leader, as far as I can see and I've been watching it all night), as well as a wildlife expert at Bempton, about 45 miles away... (why not Spurn?). Odd

Oil tanker and cargo ship collide in North Sea - The Holderness and Hornsea Gazette
Thirty-seven people have been brought ashore after an oil tanker and a cargo vessel collided off the coast of East Yorkshire this morning. The US-flagged MV Stena Immaculate tanker, which was carrying US military jet fuel, was at anchor when it was apparently struck by the Portuguese-flagged cargo ship MV Solong about 10 miles off
