🧵The true legacy of the Norse people and Yorkshire lies not in battlefields, but in how Yorkshire speaks, lives and remembers its past. Everyday dialect words like bairn (child), beck (stream), gill (ravine), and ginnel (alleyway) derive directly from Old Norse, while street names
This illustration shows a reconstruction of the 9th-century Ribblehead Viking farmstead located in the Yorkshire Dales. The  large, rectangular longhouses with thick dry-stone walls and rounded corners were designed to withstand harsh weather. Sloped wooden roofing  frames were covered with thatch or turf to keep the inside warm, Outside Stone enclosures and yards built to keep farm animals, such as sheep, safe.

First attempt in 7+ months at an overnight away from home. Possibly - we don't know - her first beach? Tomorrow.... Filey! 🤞🏽

A 46% increase in reports of homophobia in football, along with the other forms of abuse and discrimination. Plus of course all of the incidents which go unreported (because it's 'just banter', or 'just how it is'). If you see it, call it out; report it. #LUFC www.kickitout.org/news-media/k...

MARCHING OUT TOGETHER

WE STAND
WITH BERLIN

Marching Out Together condemns the attack at Berlin Pride.

Pride must always be a place of safety, inclusion and celebration, never fear or violence.

Our love, thoughts and best wishes are with everyone impacted by this tragic event.

About this time last night, this happened above our back garden in Leeds. I've seen rainbows. I've seen moonbows. Never seen this in my life: just hanging in the high, light cloud. And the arc of a rainbow inverted like a smile. What...? How...?

I trust the people of Clacton to judge me on my record. Apart from the record that shows I have visited American more times than Clacton, have never held a constituency surgery and rarely bother to drag my arse into Parliament to do my actual job.

This is potentially an important step; I really hope #LUFC make a big statement & follow through with action. We need this out of the game, out of my club. And if that means some morons need to get out, then good riddance. 👋🏾 Proud too of all the work by my friends at @marchingout.bsky.social

The first of our two Premier League Cockney Eliminator matches tonight. I'll be watching in the pub with my @marchingout.bsky.social friends and it's going to be strangely stress-free... but I really hope the proper #LUFC turn up and make them go to the wire...😁✊🏽

Some numbskull on the radio, banging on about Spurs desperately needing the "w" tonight, cleverly abbreviating the monosyllabic "win" to three syllables, thus saving valuable time.

Been a difficult spell of late so a couple of days off work. Today's been ok and some wins. Treated myself to a special G&T in the fading 'Harewood House big gin glass'. Pondering whether that's a big glass for gin, or a glass for big gins and thinking... Yeah, I'm chilled 😊

Been for a run. Together. Not a little burst in the middle of an ordinary walk, but one of my normal runs, but together. 4.9 miles, 1hr 20m (with sniffing & wee breaks). No world record, but a big step for us 😊

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

From the Dept of First-World Problems. I'm doing dinner, started by taking a ginventory. Not looking good 😳 It's my fault: I always think 'Ah, Ive got plenty of that one left, I'll have that tonight...' until they are *all* running out at the same time...🚨🚨🚨
7 bottles of different gins. All 80-90% empty
