October…“When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing.”
Hogweed, hollyhock, campion, creeping thistle, autumn hawk-bit, yarrow, green alkanet, feverfew found today. #WildflowerHour

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

An acceptable use of an early Christmas tree at Waterstones, Bath yesterday for the launch of Murder at Christmas by Fleur Hitchcock & Ice Dancer by Alex Cotter. It's 10+ years since I wrote a book for younger readers, but children's book people are some of the finest. Lovely evening, fab books.

The Post Office is trying to close the Strathearn Road parcel office. This petition is trying to fight against closure which is likely to mean local people having to go a considerable distance to pick up parcels.
