I was talking to an elderly relative about the lovely cinnamon and clove diffuser I had, thinking she’d like one. Her comment was that it reminded her of dentist visits as a child when they used clove extract as pain relief so she definitely wouldn’t be wanting one!
The view out the back of the library. It is cloudy but between the clouds the sky is blue and it is light.
Incredible scenes here. Somehow it's March and somehow it's 5pm and SOMEHOW we're already on EPISODE NINE of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
It's cloudy but we are striding headlong into glorious longer days
And it is THIS LIGHT! 💡
This is really fun🎓📖📗📙
Shrewsbury
Blossom and snow at Old St Chad’s churchyard, Shrewsbury - photographed three years ago today. In the distance are the spires of St Alkmund’s and St Mary’s, almost disappearing behind a curtain of white. I took many pictures as I wandered around town that day, but this was my favourite. #Shropshire
Shrewsbury is so photogenic

A large circular metal desk viewed from above, raised above the muddy ground. On it is written: Great Western Railway Cos, Boundary 1911.
The ground was too hard to move it at the time, but now the bank is soft they were able to raise it up and discovered a Great Western Railway boundary marker dating back to 1911! (2/2)

This has destroyed me. Don’t skip school, indeed.

Words, what do they mean
@jackwallington.com know any places that could take 40-200 bare root fruit trees someone's rescuing from chipper in Kent end March .. please let me know if you do.. he thinks the agreement in my Oxford has fallen through

And make sure you’re nice/supportive/good to your team so that if were ever to happen, at least one person cares enough to tell you?
How does this work when you are literally fighting a war in lockstep with Israel which is very much not a Christian state? And have invaded Ecuador which is a “Christian” country?
I was sitting by our pond yesterday, and heard a faint repeating sound/call which I don’t recognise. Please can anyone tell me what it might be? It could of course be made by a human, but I felt it more likely to be a creature of some sort. Very faint, so volume up! Thank you 🙏

I just realized Moskowitz is wearing a "Justice for Cricket" pin.
That's the name of the Noem's former dog that she shot. OMG.
But we all know that if he expressed the opposite view - ie support for the US’s latest foreign escapade - it would be calling him Heir of Blair and asking did the Labour Party learn nothing from the Iraq War? Their only constant is opposition, if Starmer expressed a love of puppies, they’d decry it
A beautiful sight - so many different shades of green on the western slopes of the Long Mynd. I was on Adstone Hill for this shot, enjoying the peace and quiet in the morning sunshine. I had set out hoping for long shadows stretching across the fields - and that’s exactly what I got. #Shropshire
Nuisance claims are a complete scam, the whole “churches are too noisy, the curry house is too smelly” etc - they were there long before you, get used to it or move!
The view out the back of the library. The sky is bright blue. The sun is still visible above the horizon.
We don't know what else to tell you but it's Monday night and it's 5pm so it's time for EPISODE EIGHT of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
Today has been one of the nicest, lightest, brightest days of the year so far, and right now in Orkney it's
THIS LIGHT 💡
The buildings of a small village in a pool of light in front of a darker hill and trees. There is a lake between camera and village.

And US and Israel are not as idem either
And it didn’t work the 1,000 times we tried before but 1001’ll be the charm?
