I've been in #Chester for a weekend conference and enjoyed a brief visit to the Cathedral yesterday. I love the stained glass windows, cloisters, gardens and of course the wonderful #Lego model of this awesome building!

The final evening of our Pembrokeshire break saw Janice and I at Amroth, close to our Pleasant Valley accommodation, under dramatic skies and beside Bertie the Fish, who is highlighting the importance of turning back the tide on plastic.

A few pics i didn't get round to posting get earlier in the break: on the way on Saturday Janice and I called at Laugharne and saw Dylan Thomas boatshed and writing shed. We then continued to our accommodation at Pleasant Valley, near Cilgeti/Amroth.

We spent a couple of hours at Stackpole Quay and Barafundle Bay: the water was wonderfully blue and the views incredible. Janice ventured down onto the beach and I acted as clifftop photographer.

I enjoyed a relaxed and really nice birthday afternoon, visiting the gardens at Telford Town Park, where it was warm and sunny and I was joined by a couple of cats, who are apparently regular visitors

#Olderpeople are often invisible in labour market stats. NETERs is a measure of people Not #Employed in #Training, #Education or #Retired (NETER). In essence, it puts a number and rate to people aged 50 to #SRP age who are not working but also not retired. ageing-better.org.uk/neter-new-la...

NETER: A new labour force measure

Far too often, older people are invisible in labour market statistics. The NETER measure seeks to fix this.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday Never let an ordinary day fool you into thinking it isn’t important. Some of the best memories begin on days when absolutely nothing special was supposed to happen. So leave a little room for today to surprise you

Night night sweet dreamies Before you criticise yourself, pause and ask: “Would I say this to a friend?” If the answer is no, perhaps you deserve the same kindness you’d give them.

Here's the one-and-only feisty tabby Boo-Boo, who came to us as a kitten when I was 15, ruling the household for 16 years, and my lovely tuxie Kelvin, formerly my elderly neighbour's cat, who I adopted when he was 16 for the last 3 years of his life. #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay

Mimi is literally the sweetest cuddly teddy bear, but he's been here almost two months and hardly gets any visitors. This fluffy senior boy is looking for a home without other pets ❤️ P.S. Adult cat adoptions are FREE at HSHV right now!

Looking for inspiration this summer? Why not visit the Landscapes Unlocked exhibition at Bakewell Visitor Centre. Discover stunning images from the Peak District National Park archive held at the Derbyshire Record Office. You might just find a new perspective on a familiar place!

The room has exposed stone walls, timber ceiling beams and a large black metal beam overhead. The photographs depict local traditions and community events, and are part of an exhibition displayed in a heritage building with blue carpeted flooring.

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.
