Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons merges with drone manufacturer

Merger to take drone firm public is latest business move by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr as father is in White House

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

A short (distant) video of the white Hare at Buston, Northumberland this evening #UKmammals #wildlife

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

"Look at me, I've got 14 petals!"
There is always one show-off ...... 🙄

Spurge-laurel in full flower - it's got a really long flowering season hasn't it? - in a very steep-sided wood near Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire #WildflowerHour

Clumps of pale yellow primroses on a grassy, sloping bank, in late afternoon light.

Many primroses this week lining the banks of the Monarch’s Way in Gloucestershire. #signsofspring #wildflowerhour

A dense patch of white form violets.

Bumped into some lovely violets on one of my walks earlier in the week. #WildflowerHour

Heavens 😮

The very first of the Bluebells, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, are starting to flower here and there. This one was in Lesnes Abbey Woods. #SignsOfSpring #WildflowerHour

Have a great week & remember to keep an eye out for the next @wildflowerhour.bsky.social weekly challenge set by @botanybeck.bsky.social!

So many #SignsofSpring and so many gorgeous photos! Thank you all for sharing them and for making #wildflowerhour wonderful! Remember to keep a look out for the next challenge! Hope you all have a great week and happy flower hunting! ☺️

This junk shop vase is perfect for daffodils - & forsythia twigs are appreciated even more indoors. 💙💛

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Delightful! How wonderful they used the 'home' you provided!

Got it. So the Nuremberg trials were 'woke'?

I almost always do a few pots - just to have by the front door & kitchen door - as they give a huge amount of pleasure.

All planted so quickly in the autumn I'd forgotten what was in there!

I'd even forgotten I planted the hyacinths 😄

Pots at the front are a delight. I planted them in October with cyclamen, violas and hyacinths. It's a sheltered doorstep so the cyclamen have flowered all winter, with good back-up from the violas (when the snails don't munch the blooms.)
But the hyacinths now are stupendous!

It's tough having to get other countries to join & support your war though...

Sunny celandines 🌞 I do love them.

5. The Cabot Circus car park transformation is meant to be amazing turning an ugly concrete space into somewhere people were happy to congregate & play! I hope to visit this evening.
Last night is tonight, Saturday, 5pm-9.30.
And it's all FREE.
Bristol Light Festival

4. There are another 7 installations across the city in venues as various as Redcliffe Caves & Level 7 of Cabot Circus multi-storey car park!
I love the atmophere of the Light Festival, to see people of all ages & backgrounds coming together to enjoy art. It's hugely inclusive & joyful.
