Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Of course, snowdrops are best enjoyed in-person, in nature. That’s why we’ve put together a map of beautiful National Trust spots where you can see them. Take a look at the full list here: buff.ly/3CEXdc4 #NationalSnowdropDay
A green map of the UK with white National Trust logos mapping spots where snowdrops can be seen. In the top left corner, the words Snowdrop Spots can be seen against a grey background. The whole map is on a blue background with large National Trust logos partly visible in a soft white colour.

Finished my second scene study from Studio Ghibli's Secret World of Arrietty! Get both Arrietty studies as a FREE wallpaper pack: ko-fi.com/s/9488ce09d2
A study of a scene from Studio Ghibli's Secret World of Arrietty, rendered in pixel art. The scene shows an overgrown wall with a rusted inset grate. On the ledge is a small flower with a note tucked underneath. Vines climb up the wall, and overgrown grass covers the ground. A broken pot and discarded jar are in the foreground.

The EU will provide more weapons, and they will arrive faster, says Ursula von der Leyen. She stressed that supporting the Ukrainian resistance is a key priority, because the security of all of Europe depends on it.

He's a lil' wonky, but he's done. Gonna have an excited 9 y.o. in the morning. And as tradition would have it, another birthday cake finished at 01:30 in the morning.
A birthday cake, covered in fondant icing made to look like Sonic The Hedgehog. It's a little wonky, and definitely home made.

70% of the UK's wealth is now in the hands of the richest 1%. While the poorest 20% have less than 1%. There is no money to be gained from punching down because it is all held by the people at the top.

It is approaching 5 years since the UK officially left the EU. And what do we have to show for it? The Tories admit that they took the UK out of the EU without a plan for growth, and the consequences are clear: the cost of living is soaring, public services are on their knees...

Polite reminder from your neighbourhood languaphile librarian: "Addicting" is not a word accepted in the English language. The correct word is "addictive". Thank you & goodnight.

1/2 The Brits are wild. The UK gets its fair share of odd weather. Let alone rain. Yet folks go surprised Pikachu each time, and complain about their choice of clothing. Especially always that one white guy in shorts.

Something I learnt on SquirrelTok - 'squirrel' is the second hardest English word for Francophones to master after 'Worcestershire'. What they might not know is that the English word actually comes from old French 'esquireul', so they really have themselves to blame. 📸 Michael Hirst

British winter is just putid. No snow. Just damp, grey misery day in & out. I vote we drop "winter" and borrow the Scots' name for the season – Dreich – cold, wet & dreary.

Can't believe this is just casually outside my work building. Joys of working on historic grounds 🖤📚 #LibrarianLife
A water wheel stopped in time. Beautiful mossy moon gate over it, adorned with the face of the Green Man. There are brambles, twigs and dead leaves on the ground. A big conifer branch hangs over the moon gate.

She's baby girl 🖤 #Cats
A photo of a tri-colour tabby cat, napping, curled up like a little pretzel. Her front feet are sticking out, and they have cute white-sock colouring. She's snuggled in tight against the sofa cushions, that one of her ears has folded down.

One of my kids got gifted a Big Barbie for Crimbo. I have to turn her away when it's the kids' bedtime.
