Fabulous sunny day at Oxton's Secret Gardens 2025. Lovely plants, flowers, trees, rockeries, grasses...stunning. My favourite moments: Aphrodite (Venus) at the bottom of the garden, a pink rhododendron & the famous Oxton folly #garden #flowers #Oxton

Pope Leo XIV is "the first American pope", according to the frontpage of the BBC website. Pope Francis was the first American pope...Leo is the first North American pope, or, the first pope to be born in the United States @bbcnews.bsky.social

Finally got my hands on this terrific book by Paul David Gould. Thrilling, timely, so evocative about life in Russia's gay scene in the 90s. It's a gripping story about life and love in a world of deep prejudice. Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. A great read.

And so what is Trump to do with the great national monument the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me"

Best concert I've seen in Liverpool: Paul Heaton. We worked for the encore. It was Caravan of Love. He sang it like it was 1986. Spectacular. Band & support brilliant; shout out for Rianne Downey #Zutons superb @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social @riannedowney.bsky.social

Hello Bluesky from Liverpool!! Dark skies but strong bright rays...
