I had a trip out to Avebury yesterday (6 miles away) with a sister driving. I asked to go to the nearby Frog Lane, Avebury Trusloe to photograph the postbox. There was some copper tape in order to prevent snails and slugs getting inside 🐌🐸📮

I saw a post from a Ukrainian woman.
She wrote that every week
something bright and inspiring should happen to her –
to balance the attacks, blackouts, and cold.
Cinema, good books, cultural events…
What this woman, I, and many others do here
feels like the right way
to live through dark times.

Ukraine is under another massive russian drone attack tonight. Tu-95 bombers are in the air
These strikes are no longer spaced weeks apart. They come again and again — heavier, longer, more destructive
The world keeps handing russia the time — and Ukraine keeps paying in lives

An insane number of drones over Ukraine.
A warning of missile attack.

In Dublin’s fair city,
Where the postboxes are pretty,
Eldest first set her eyes on sweet green ones galore,
As An Post wheeled their barrow,
Through the streets, broad and narrow,
Crying “Letters and postcards, alive, alive, oh!” Happy #PostboxSaturday, folks! 🤩📮🇮🇪💚
