@bertsbooks.bsky.social and @shonamaclean.bsky.social - you are both vindicated. I just finished rereading The Daughter of Time and guess what is in the LAST chapter... However, there is no 's' on 'anyway' - so you're both right. Thank you for sending me back to this wonderful book. #TeamRichardiii

This is wonderful and puts me in mind of works by the amazing Irish artist Markey Robinson.

Unlikely. Mabel has never really experienced anxiety.

Now we are six. Happy Birthday to Mabel. The force is strong with this one. ❤️🐾

I was very lucky. There was no other film the year I turned 18.

Working visit with Mabel to the Yorkshire coast (our favourite) with early morning walks on Cayton Bay, a seal spotted in Scarborough harbour and a super hagstone - great find!

A hag stone, held to the light of the rising sun. Excellent find.

View of Cayton Bay - empty beach, blue sky and sea in the early morning - from the cliff top. Glory!

A seal's head popping upright out of the water, swallowing a fish! Yummy!

My Labrador/Springer has that same appalling urge and I spend lots of time on our walks saying, ‘what are you eating now…? Drop! DROP!!’ I’m glad your lovely lad is ok. Total nightmare. 🙏🏻

Great sunrise this morning. Mabel and I watched it from Keele Butts #Staffordshireskies

@worldwildlife.bsky.social thanks for the follow. And by way of thanks, here’s a gorgeous female Southern Hawker Dragonfly that visited my garden last week. You’re welcome ☺️

If you're here for a blue sky I've got one for you - Stoke-on-Trent's Centenary People's Parade. Pretty constant rain dampened no spirits here. This city is my pride and joy.

Insect spotting on Mabel's walks on the old Keele Golf Course... Swollen-Thighed Beetle (male), Meadow Brown Butterfly, a yellow and black hoverfly, and a buff (or white tailed) bumble - I can't tell the difference.

This beauty visited me yesterday. Female Northern Damselfly, I think. #naturalengland #urbanwildlife #staffordshire

I’ve been driving through rural North Yorkshire this past week and very pleased to see the state of my car! Something I haven’t seen for many years. Bugs on the bonnet! #biodiversity 👍🏻
