Good morning Isle of Wight and happy voting day #IsleOfWight
outside a yellow brick building, a black and white sign saying polling station and way ina poster that is not affiliated with any political party

7th May is voting day
your vote counts.
make sure you make an informed choice in which candidates in your ward will best represent your views.
checklist 
does your choice of councillor...
know the top 3 challenges facing people who live and work in your area?
know the top 3 priorities for the isle of wight? have a good reason to want to serve your ward and community?

remember it is about local, isle of wight decisions.
views of central government (Westminster) are not a good indicator of who is best to represent your town or village here on the island

don't forget to vote

note: photo id is now required to vote in person at a polling station

Visit post-apocalyptic Ryde Esplanade #IsleofWight
a public map/signpost on Ryde esplanade.

the map depicted a beautiful historic town on the beach with a pier, but is heavily sun damaged and most of the town is blackened, with the beach surviving but sea also blackened, making it look like a smouldering pile of destruction

Thanks to @b3ta.com , I'm haunted by teh quo on our neighbour's house
A yellow brick wall with a satellite dish top right.

The lower half of the wall is in shadow of a sloping roof, and on the left is a chimney stack with 2 pots at the top - that overall sort of a bit looks like 2 people stood uncomfortably close together

It's #OperationGeranium time again, where we work to distribute geraniums as a sign of good health and friendship to other organisations and individuals in the community #CargoBike #IsleOfWight
A front loading cargo bike next to 150 small geraniums in red pink and white. The bike and flowers are on a small holding on a hill with many things growing. In the background you can just see the sea, all under a thundercloud sky

Essex police are very much "do as I say not do as I do" when it comes to knife crime
a photo of a police station. there is a large grey BMW parked on the pavement in front. just above it is the emblem for Essex police, which is an 8 pointed star with the top point replaced by a crown. within the star is a blue circle containing the words Essex police, and within that is a red circle with 3 curved swords.

just next to the parked car is a large black object with the words knife bin on it. there is also a child's drawing saying stop knife crime
