Sunday. June 28th 2026 Pictures from the hell hole of London. People (all colours) everywhere. Behaving outrageously, having picnics on hallowed grassy fields. Kids& dogs everywhere, playing games. Feeding swans not eating them. No guns in sight as far as I can see. What is world coming to?
Baby hare in the garden just now. I thought I’d share the experience. And I don’t mind it eating my pansies at all. ❤️
Two tier policing from the government that perpetrates this! Oh! And shoots nurses & poets in cold blood in the streets.
London in the sun this evening. All calm. People reading & drinking beer by old man Thames. Not a swan eater in sight. Or mind.
Long walk across the Norfolk salt marsh (UK) today. The beauty of the scenery and sky dominated by the sound & sight of military planes from nearby airbase.
Cornwall in winter. And the friendly little Robin who came with me on my cliff top walk yesterday.
As the world slides ever closer to a series of catastrophic tipping points, I took a walk in the bluebell wood today. As close to heaven as it’s possible to get. We could have such a beautiful world if we looked after it & each other. Naive. I know.
Seen yesterday in local Village in deepest, rural Herefordshire. It’s definitely not a pro Trump piece is it?
Amid all the political turmoil, I went for a walk on the Welsh border. It was calming. Walking your way through this crisis is to recommended
Labour will continue to lose support to Reform unless it relaxes the Red Lines on borrowing, delivers a huge stimulus to the economy & strengthens public services & infrastructure swiftly. The war in Ukraine is a perfect reason to do this. Times have changed profoundly.So must the rules,
@channel4news.bsky.social @channel4@bluesky.social This smug, ignorant MAGA arsehole, reprising Vance accusing the UK & EU of abusing democratic values is beyond contempt. Those of us with minds to think look at the coup that is happening in the US & give thanks that we don’t live there.
@channel4news.bsky.social The interview with this fanatic, supremacist was utterly nauseating. Giving her a platform exposes her vileness. It could also legitimate it.
In other news, you’ll be thrilled to see this which tells us that everything is fine with the climate! 👇
Very stressed today as the full scale of the catastrophe unfolding in the world reveals itself. So I went for a walk. It was very wintry & cold but it helped my state of mind. Here’s the view as I walked on a ridge looking west towards the Welsh border & Black Mountains.
This is a main road in Herefordshire, UK today in the aftermath of #StormBert. Village’s completely cut off by flooding. I’ve seen floods before in this part of the world but not like this, or so early in the winter.
I’m half way from London to Australia and very happy to have a few hours on the ground while I try to gather all my molecules together. I’m in China. This is what it looks like outside the airport. Instant, crashing depression & guilt for my own contribution to the horror.
First thing I’ve knitted in about 30 years but the arrival of a grandchild was a great prompt. I surprised myself by still being able to do it.
