I apologise in advance for the seagull photos. Oh and I don't like parsnips. Located here, sometimes there but mainly on the south coast of England.

Sometimes it's nice to catch the common animals on the camera trap behaving in a totally natural way, such as this magpie bathing in a Cornish stream.

Just watched Charles Hawtry play Dan Dan the lavatory man in Carry on Screaming and I have to say, he was just going through the motions

An inspirational tale for aspiring journalists.

Remember, if you're a sibling of the former Prime Minister, and close personal friends with the current editor of your favourite magazine, and his ex-wife, you too can achieve your childhood dream of becoming its columnist

A recent photo of the river Exe and some trees in the mist.

Sorry, I apologise for posting Exe/tree/mist views on Bluesky.

Something lovely for the weekend!

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age.

Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

It was a bit grey out there this morning so here is some of yesterdays sunshine to brighten things up. Taken in Glastonbury not long after sunrise.
