A neighbour's Agave or 'Century plant', has bloomed, its ruddy huge!

Week 2 #F1Fantasy ended up as a mixed bag across my 3 teams. Alonso's retirement, Ferrari DQ's, Gasly dq all impacted

Considering swapping out Williams for Haas, Bortoletti has to go from 2 teams.
Quietly pleased I didn't actually apply 'Chips' for this race.

Not a bad start for my 1st season playing #FantasyF1

Lots to learn, opinions on my team selections are very welcome.

Yes, I didn't know about 'Chips' so a rookie error was made.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves, finally, states she will look into the Pan Euro Mediterranean Convention (PEM), as an option.

This is good news.

A few pics from #Dartmoor stomping

Didn't expect snow on the highmoor
Immediately regressed to being 7 years old, "Snow!"

Dragonflies were abundant & elusive as hell when trying to capture a pic of them.
I did stumble across this though, a juvenile or crane fly? Let me know

A waxcap or an orange peel mushroom?
