I can't describe how much I love the scruffy ground behind the derelict Longstone Inn. With 8+ species of butterfly, 2 day flying moths, lots of birds including kestrel & swallow and an abundance of glorious textured wild flowers. @longstonecc.bsky.social I hope this haven remains untouched

Proud of our city for showing out in very large numbers today to proclaim: Edinburgh & Leith are anti-racist. #whoseCityOurCity #SUTR Nae Pasaran.

Hate has no home here! A tiny number (any is too many) of masked, hooded, fascists head were surrounded, outnumbered, and driven away from the Buchannan steps and replaced by a huge crowd of anti racists. Replace fascism with solidarity. One love.

A women holds a sign saying HATE HAS NO HOME HERE above her head. Beyond her, entirely surrounded by police, a small group of black clad racists.

Proud of the trade union movement and Scotland for turning out in huge numbers to oppose the far right, to reclaim the streets, and say refugees are welcome here. Nae Pasaran

Buchannan steps, women against far right banner, trade union banners

Hate has no home here, as police corner of a very small puddle of racists

This is my allotment friend. The photo does not do them justice. In return for unearthing beaties for them they sing me songs while I work.

In an extreme menopausal moment, I hid all the eggs first before sitting down to write the clues. Long story short- the location of one egg is now a mystery for everyone, me included. No clue where it is.
