Don't they ever learn. The previous Prime Minister was dead in the water the minute his chancellor took money away from vulnerable pensioners. He plans to do the same. Madness! Why not try a novel approach and tax those who won't feel the extra tax such as the super rich, the energy companies. 🤔

We got an (or 3, in my case) emergency phone alert about wildfires yesterday; disposable bbq's temporarily banned; five (?) extreme heat waves this summer alone. The government know there's a climate emergency! Parliament declared a climate rmergency in 2019. They need to level with the population.

Quite shocking really. To the left. A peaceful protest by people who really care about others. To the right, a violent protest by thugs leaving me baffled as to what the protest was hoping to achieve. Beggars belief! 🤔

The new allotmenteers in plot 1 has caused a bit of a stir. It has provoked discussion amongst the other plotter's as to it demonstrating gravitas to the serious art of vegetable growing. I rather like, don't you?

Photo featuring a sculpture in a field setting, the work resembles a female figure facing right created with many rust coloured pieces of metal welded together to give the impression of the body being blown by a strong wind

Access to nature is also a social justice issue. It's also a class issue. What a breath of fresh air, hearing this take from the leader of a large political party.

In our little council back garden we have a wonderful Japanese Crab Apple Tree - Malus Floribunda. Yesterday its flowers looked so pretty against a backdrop of a clear blue sky. Oh, isn't life wonderful when the sun shines. 🌞

'twas a pleasant and sunny day in 'uddersfield yesterday. The cool wind, however, dampened my enthusiasm to sit reading outside. Oh, retirement is a wonderful thing! 😁The highlight of my day had to be seeing Jupiter in the early evening sky to the left of a waxing crescent moon. Pure joy! 😊👍

I bought a new houseplant today. Oh I do like looking after them. I like the unusual ones. The plant is called the common asparagus plant, sounds more like a vegetable to me, so I prefer the nicer sounding lace fern or asparagus grass. There is plenty of edges to this plant. #Edges 😊

I've really enjoyed reading this book. Hannah has moved me from the 'We're doomed Captain Mannering, I say, we're doomed' mind set, to one with a lot more hope in it. Her argument is supported by facts and legitimate figures. I like that. 👍😊

Did u know? Some folks express their love of the natural world in poetry, or in paintings (I used to be a natural history artist before I retired). I now show my admiration, respect & concern for nature by creating an outside space that's as nature-friendly as possible. Go a bit more wild.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐞🐝🐸🦎

A recent, and now regular visit to our garden, is a jay. Yep, a chuffin' jay, and I'm tickled pink. This morning Jonathan. Yep, named it. 😁Tried, his best to get food from an inappropriate bird feeder. It was in an out quicker than an American F 35 stealth fighter jet. #birds 🦉😊

It's 7.00 am in Huddersfield. It's raining. No surprise there then. My phone informs me that it feels like 1 degrees on the other side of our front door. I will stay inside. But oh, Wednesday gone, how different life was. The sun shone, cherry blossom appeared and said hello to me in our garden. 😊

Yesterday. 8.00 pm. I stepped outside from my warm abode into the chill of the night air. The moon played games with me behind grey clouds. I pondered on what the idiot across the pond was doing. History will be his judge. I went back inside into my safe world. 🤔

Thank goodness for that. Lets hope that this is the start of a green movement with politicians that we can trust, who do the right thing for the people and importantly the planet. Bring on the Greens. Yabba dabba doo. 😁

So, very true. I try my best to enjoy every minute of every day and appreciate the little things in life: watching birds eating their fill in my garden; squirrels up to all sorts of mischief. I love the weather, the moon shining bright at night. I'm just so happy to be alive. 😊

A couple of weeks back, we were in Colwyn Bay. I took this shot of the town's very small pier. There is something about this image that provokes an inner feeling in me. 🤔 The town, may be struggling like many, but we both found it a pleasure to visit. 😊

Last weekend we visited Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. Though the weather could have been better we had a smashing time. We thoroughly enjoyed a walk along the pier hovering above the Irish Sea.

By eck, today was a miserable, wet day, here in West Yorkshire. I stayed put indoors but my little feathered friends had no choice but to brave the weather and leave their protective, cosy hedges and seek food. Pls click to 🦻 Sithee later. 😊
