@bertsbooks.bsky.social and @shonamaclean.bsky.social - you are both vindicated. I just finished rereading The Daughter of Time and guess what is in the LAST chapter... However, there is no 's' on 'anyway' - so you're both right. Thank you for sending me back to this wonderful book. #TeamRichardiii
This is wonderful and puts me in mind of works by the amazing Irish artist Markey Robinson.
Now we are six. Happy Birthday to Mabel. The force is strong with this one. ❤️🐾
Working visit with Mabel to the Yorkshire coast (our favourite) with early morning walks on Cayton Bay, a seal spotted in Scarborough harbour and a super hagstone - great find!
My Labrador/Springer has that same appalling urge and I spend lots of time on our walks saying, ‘what are you eating now…? Drop! DROP!!’ I’m glad your lovely lad is ok. Total nightmare. 🙏🏻
Mabel and the moon. Our morning walk today - phot can’t capture the beauty of the low setting moon. It was a stunner. #Staffordshire
Great sunrise this morning. Mabel and I watched it from Keele Butts #Staffordshireskies
@worldwildlife.bsky.social thanks for the follow. And by way of thanks, here’s a gorgeous female Southern Hawker Dragonfly that visited my garden last week. You’re welcome ☺️
There’s a fantastic buzz @rxtheatre.bsky.social for #TheBruntwoodPrize2025 I’m very proud to be here representing @writersguildgb.bsky.social
If you're here for a blue sky I've got one for you - Stoke-on-Trent's Centenary People's Parade. Pretty constant rain dampened no spirits here. This city is my pride and joy.
Insect spotting on Mabel's walks on the old Keele Golf Course... Swollen-Thighed Beetle (male), Meadow Brown Butterfly, a yellow and black hoverfly, and a buff (or white tailed) bumble - I can't tell the difference.
Over the weekend I went to the LLyn for a thing. Diolch Cymru! Ya beauty.
This beauty visited me yesterday. Female Northern Damselfly, I think. #naturalengland #urbanwildlife #staffordshire
View from Keele Butts over Newcastle-u-Lyme towards Stoke-on-Trent this morning. #Staffordshire
I’ve been driving through rural North Yorkshire this past week and very pleased to see the state of my car! Something I haven’t seen for many years. Bugs on the bonnet! #biodiversity 👍🏻
To be in England now that April’s here… #pinchpunch #Staffordshiredawn
Neeps n tatties, a nice peppery haggis and whisky of choice tonight - Auchentoshan. ‘We hae meat and we can eat and sae the Lord be thankit.’ #BurnsNight
