That looks fantastic!

I often get the artist by their brushwork but fail on the actual painting- but got this in 2.

RIP Country Joe. The first person (iirc) I interviewed for my protest songs book and a good dude

I was a paper candidate for the Green Party many years ago, but I had to withdraw from volunteering my name for this May because my current circumstances don’t allow me to become a councillor by accident, a likely scenario

I also have a few boxes of original 1930’s 1950’ deadstock milliners flowers - for hats, fascinators, corsages. If anyone is interested in these let me know! #fashionhistory #vintagedeadstock #vintagefashion

Hi RR xx (must do something typographic for you using the RR)

Is there a lace or fabric historian in my network? I have a box of antique Belgian lace plus original patterns and fabric material to create ribbon lace. I want to sell it to someone who will care for it, maybe use it, study it. Let me know if you are or know someone!

LOVE the idea of testing the "doneness" with a strand of raw spaghetti - working cooking just to do that @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social

great news and makes me think about shopping centres as heritage. Who wants to bet on the next to be listed, because the Trafford Centre is only 2 years away from elligibility....

Needing distraction- tried Great British Menu, unwatchable - keep thinking of The Hunger Games #greatbritishmenu

Essential for self preservation at the moment

Thought it was William Burroughs

2001 vibes

I’d add parents whose child has just started school - we were ill for about a year, constantly, but we must’ve had some fabulous antibodies by the end. All gone now.

“You only have to look around us today and see how proud we are of Britain’s musical contribution and how important it is to nurture and protect the UK’s amazing music scene.” 💛 Here’s to protecting independent venues and celebrating the artists who grow from them. 2/2

Paradise - here it is in N. Wales - found it at last.

So good !!

Pro-Israel BBC News presenters have never looked so out of touch when interviewing Zack Polanski this morning. If only they’d treated Farage in a similar fashion years ago Reform might not exist.

A #Roman glass bowl, found near #Pompeii, & made about 2000 years ago. A beautiful & colourful piece of ancient glass! #AncientBlueSky

Great piece. I like her back story of why she became a city planner, the perfect start for a pie maker.

Tactical voting needs to become a national sport.
As a socialist I’d even reluctantly vote Tory to keep out Reform - it’s that important.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Wouldn't go if you paid me
