Here’s a thing. It’s 14 July, which is a public holiday here in France which commemorates the storming of the Bastille. Most folk call it Fete Nationale or simply 14 juillet. Nobody really calls it Bastille Day. There are a certain group, however, who get their tits in a proper tangle at folk who

I became interested in environmental issues decades ago, long before it was fashionable. I wanted to understand more about how the world worked, how life interacted with each other. I did a lot of work for wildlife charities, alongside getting my degree which gave me a pretty good understanding

This will not be a popular opinion but UK, your problems did not start and end with Brexit, your problems are deeper than that. You have never got over feudalism. You still believe in your ‘betters’. That’s why you keep voting Tory. You’ve never really wanted to be a part of Europe

2025’s most bizarre event was the DNA spectacular NPE. All names are altered. Someone was looking for their grandfather, we will call grandfather Bill. Bill had a child (Fred) out of wedlock with Ethel while married to Evelyn.

I have said it before, and I’m going to say it again, but for the love of the wee man, please stop gatekeeping when it comes to crafting, clothing, cooking et cetera. I have in the past been that person, particularly when it came to yarn, and I was wrong.

Well my life turned on a sixpence today. Long story short but my poor wee cat has stage 2/3 kidney disease. Not what I wanted to hear but at least I know what I’m up against. The rest of the time he has with us is going to be just amazing for him

Yesterday was the Tour de France in Thaon. It was ridiculously hot, an entire family kept us amused all day with music and singing and the ensuing traffic chaos was utterly predictable and should have been sorted
