First roses of the season.

This is very good. Very well pitched and sensibly placed.

The Scallop at Aldeburgh. #BlueSkyArtShow #Angles

Another thunderstorm, this time actually around our house. So many strikes, although mainly intercloud.

Not that there was a great thunderstorm in Bristol this morning, but the run-off this afternoon is impressive

This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …

Yet again, this Michael Rosen poem hits the bullseye.

Warning just went out from Image.

#gratitude for working where I can get a lunchtime walk in the countryside. #BlueSkyArtShow #SpeckledWood

Pleased to be in this list of women calling for asylum seekers to be included in the Government’s plan to tackle violence against women & girls. Violence doesn’t stop at the border - and neither should our compassion for survivors @4refugeewomen.bsky.social

Joe Gallina This video of Trump saying he's surprised Biden put in Powell as Fed Chair while a video of Trump nominating Powell HIMSELFplays below is going viral Share this video of Trump's mental decline because the media won't.They're too busy giving wall-to-wall coverage for some autopen bullshit

Since 7 October 2023 an average of 27 children have been killed in Gaza by Israel every single day. A whole classroom of children wiped out everyday by a genocidal regime, even while queuing for food and water. And still the UK government sells them weapons. Shame on them.

And now for today’s climate forecast …

As we head into the 3rd heatwave of the summer, *please* take just 2 moments to sign this petition calling on government to help our communities adapt & prepare for the impacts of #climate change. We are not safe — we need to be #SAFER @climatemajority.bsky.social

I've collected the first statue from Grommet Unleashed 3.

He's right. But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

A bunch of people, many in their 80s, being arrested yesterday in Parliament Square under anti-terrorism legislation. This would be absurd and farcical if it wasn't so terrifying. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“Technologies of control are ramping up while democratic rights are ramping down. We drift towards extreme political repression, driven by the demands of capital and foreign states, accelerated by automation. This is why we must protest – now, while we still can” 👏 @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today. Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone. You're going to need a bigger prison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkV...

Here’s a #MondayMorningMinute with #nature here on World Bee Sanctuary. Take a moment. #pause Go do some #good. Have the best week you can. If you’re not having a good week - tell someone. And if someone tells you - Listen. Really #listen. #mentalhealth #wellbeing #summer #worldbeesanctuary

The garden is a right mess (I've ignored it for some time) but I love this rose. I planted it 2 decades ago to commemorate my Mormor (mother's mother). It seems to have thrived on being ignored.

“I am large, I contain multitudes” (from ‘Song of Myself’ by Walt Whitman). People rarely experience emotions one at a time – and sometimes what we feel can seem contradictory. It’s a normal part of being human – embrace your complexity 💙

The joy of stealing an hour during work to walk in the country on a sunny day and seeing nature. #BlueSkyArtShow #joy

It seems Pontypridd has been taken over by Jackdaws.

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

I think it's back up. 8 minutes, 40 seconds. A lot of outlets are carrying it but this is the best link, I think. The bumper/buffer has been edited out, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQ...

Which one are you choosing? [Image description: A hand-drawn illustration showing how to boost your wellbeing in nature. The ideas include: take notice of nature, do activities outdoors, ecotherapy, help the environment, grow or pick food, connect with animals, bring nature indoors.]

The love and honour of this person who is being forced out of the armed forces because of the current American administration shines through. www.facebook.com/share/p/16d5...

This is an image of British Commandos on a approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.

and don’t you forget it! 🥺

Slava Ukraini! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This was so powerful for me:

Felt like baking a black forest gateau.
