The changes to insect populations & behaviours, even in my short lifetime, are staggering. It's nearly November but there are numerous Red Admirals still feeding on this bank of asters. Assume some will stay and others will eventually head South. It's an extraordinary change.

Very pleased to be presented with a new apple variety today, this tasty #HowdensWonder 🍎 Both a cooker and an eater, it stores unusually well. Nice and sharp on the taste buds too

Interesting to see what matters most to students at the UCA Freshers Fair in Farnham. Affordable housing and Gaza, perhaps unsurprisingly, topping the unconventional poll

Entertaining game at the picturesque Beveree this afternoon in National League South. Late drama as the visitors had a goal disallowed but it ended Hampton & Richmond 3-2 Ebbsfleet Utd

Superlative and uplifting choral presentiation from @stmartinsvoices.bsky.social at the uniquely cavernous setting of @brunelmuseum.bsky.social in Rotherhithe tonight. Nothing beats live performance

Good to see so many visiting @morecambefc.bsky.social fans applauding their team off the pitch at @theshots.bsky.social today. After all the issues they've had great that they still have a club to follow. @morecambefcfeed.bsky.social

New ground for me as the home team make their debut in the @isthmianleague.bsky.social SE division. Very entertaining game which could have gone either way ends Hassocks 3-2 @hernebayfc.bsky.social

Who says young people don't do politics? Excluding me the average age of this @libdems.org.uk canvass team would have been very early 20s! 170 plus doors covered in Chineham on behalf of @alexkbrewer.bsky.social 🔶️

One good thing about being in rural Central France is that the sky is properly dark at night and you can actually see the stars. We've forgotten how glorious they are.

Eventful flight to Bordeaux. 4 allocated planes, boarded 3. Technical fault initially, too much fuel on the 1st replacement then returned back to Gatwick after reaching 8000 feet on the next one due to cabin pressure issues. Finally arrived on the 4th around 6 hours late. #joyoftravel

A quick visit to Straights Inclosure this afternoon to re-live the joys of 1976 when the place was alive with butterflies. Not quite as good today but the good weather seems to have delivered a recovery of sorts from last year.
