It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight. 2/

Other work by the Ladybird artists ‘October’ (From a 1958 calendar by the always fabulous Ronald Lampitt)
A cloudy day in October casts long shadows so it’s early or late. An allotment is busy with autumn activity and the plots are all super well-tended.

A few weeks ago this one native plant was covered in life — dozens of butterflies and bees feeding on it. This is knapweed, one of our native wildflowers. Native plants aren’t just decoration. They’re part of the food web. Plant some. Leave some. Make room for life.

🌊 No Causeway. No direct road. Just ferries, shifting sands and the incoming tide. Before 1826, journeys between Hayle, St Ives and Penzance could be slow and risky. Many travellers crossed the estuary at low tide, carefully watching the sea...

⏰ Start your countdown clock for the exact moment of the autumn #equinox, 01:06 (UK) 23rd Sept, when the Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere are equally illuminated. The day length in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland will be ~the same as in 🇳🇿New Zealand 🤓🧪🔭 📷: National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
The main diagram shows the Earth's annual rotation around the Sun, surrounded by a zodiacal scale that gives the names, symbols and images of the signs of the zodiac. The seasons and the positions of the equinoxes and solstices are marked. Text at the corners describes the Zodiac and the Earth, and a longer text at the bottom explains the Phenomena of the Seasons.

Yes, you are correct. She did have several holiday homes but only this one on the Island. Her youngest daughter Beatrice acquired Carisbrooke Castle there too keeping her company in widowhood. Osborne has a strange vibe, it's where she died. Gardens are stunning but the house is so dark and sombre.

Trump posts about a “new” deal with Greenland and Denmark which appears to be just about exactly the same as our current deal with them, but nobody tell him that.
Trump post: BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Todays walk. Needles and Lighthouse off the Isle of Wight. Still active. Built 1859, designed by James Walker for Trinity House, replacing the previous lighthouse of 1785. It had a helipad constructed in 1987. After 140 years, in 1994 it became fully automated. #architecture #lighthouse #history
