In Winter Holiday they found a sheep stuck on a crag like this. They rescued it in a highly dangerous way!

#FallColour #ForestFriday The Foothills, behind my neighbourhood, dressed in their golden Autumn coloured best.
The crest of a foothill covered in treed in yellow, gold, & orange poplars & Birch. There are a few dark green conical conifers and, the sky is a clear brilliant blue.

Noted! After Adam came out all those years ago I thought they would have a lesbian couple at some point and Helen was my guess.

I'm afraid that the flowers don't prove anything from Anna's viewpoint. She said it was uncharacteristic (or words to that effect) of her mother to send her flowers. Alan could have set up the whole thing. If Carol has her bank on her phone, why couldn't she have paid the flowers herself?

The @telegraph.co.uk decided not to publish our response to Tim Stanley’s 13 September piece, in which he called those organising the EU flags at the Proms “sad sack Remainers”. We believe in open dialogue and free speech, so we’ve published our response here... #LastNightOfTheProms

I think it's sad if someone like Brad can't be a member of a rural village. Campaign for better public transport would be my option.

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

RNLI staff have faced "unacceptable" online & physical abuse since anti-migrant protests. "Deliberate misinformation and a misunderstanding" by thugs hiding behind "balaclava or a keyboard". Solidarity with RNLI volunteers. They do a great job in saving lives, must be respected.

Abuse of RNLI volunteers 'wholly unacceptable', chief says
Peter Sparkes says there has been "deliberate misinformation" spread about the charity.

The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

They haven't done the transgender issue yet. It is causing problems in WI though, or rather the ruling is.

Not sure tbh. I do know the real WI passed a resolution to oppose violence to women and the resulting campaign was "not in my name". As TA reference was immediatley after a WI meeting on the subject it follows that was what was referred to.

You need to find it on BBC Sounds. Think it was last's Friday at 7pm.,or you could listen to the omnibus for the week on Sunday 11am. George is an obnoxious 20 year old trying to rehabilitate himself. Amber is his pregnant fiancee, a social media influencer.
