My father had fire in his eyes, and watching the flame extinguished as I held him will hurt until my last breath. Ten years later I can still feel his hand Everything I do is because of his guidance. He is with me now in our woodland

Last of the forgotten line.
An overgrown railway line taking a smooth curve out of sight. It is framed by trees, and the line itself is finally free of the undergrowth, running as clear as a newspaper headline, before once again succumbing to a gobbledegook of bracken.

Oof #Wilderness with #SimonReeve: terrific. I’m not sure what I was doing in 2024 that was so exciting I missed the first series entirely, but I’m delighted to catch up with it now* on the iPlayer, alongside the new one *Just watched Ep 1 - ‘Congo’

I salivate every time I think of doing this and cannot get enough. Parboiled new potatoes lightly squished with a spoon before being doused with olive oil, seasoned with fresh rosemary, salt and pepper and shoved in the oven for 30 mins at 200C. Absolutely blimming superb #spuds 🥔

On Anna Karina's birthday, one of the greatest dance scenes in the movies, from Jean-Luc Godard's Bande à part, 1964 With Sami Frey & Claude Brasseur. The great music is by Michel Legrand. Man, I've posted this scene an awful lot over the years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1MK...

Remembering John Dankworth on his birthday 🎂 📷 Simmons/Popperfoto, 1958 "He once opined that symphonies were the great novels of western music & jazz was the journalism; the one embracing the spirit of an era, the other catching its intense & characteristic moments on the wing." - John Fordham

Today I woke with the song 'Moonlight In Vermont' in my head. I'm not sure if I first heard it via Ella or Frank; I'm guessing Frank. It has such beautiful lyrics matched to a sublime melody. I looked it up and it's by two writers (John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf) I don't know from anything else..

A screenshot from my Insta features two women inside before a paned window facing onto a street: under the pic in white type a headline runs ‘Where are all the lesbian bars?’ then sub-head ‘By Anonymous Brighton Queer Woman, screaming out for a place to kiki’
