Same bridge, six months apart. The winterbourne River Kennet, dry during the Dog Days of summer but in winter, the chalk aquifer releases a steady flow of icy chalk-clean water. #Avebury #Wiltshire #Winterbourne
Explored the Overton Hill Barrow Cemetery in the dying light of icily cold Saturday. The complex of a dozen Bowl, Bell, Roman, Bronze Age & Saxon inhumation Barrows overlook The Sanctuary & Avebury. The Roman road to Aquae Sulis crosses this most ancient yard of graves. Many Hawthorn berry baubles 2

I doubt there is a better photograph than this one that demonstrates how massive (36 ft ditch, 30 ft bank) and steep the original earthwork at #Avebury was. The water table being much higher in Neolithic times, there could have been standing water in the chalk moat. #Neolithic #Wiltshire

Fury as Zack Polanski demands Brits pay millions to make migrants MORE comfortable
I think The Express needs to find their Xmas spirit.
We're paying £476m for a regime that tear gasses babies & destroys shelters in freezing conditions.
We should divert that money to a functioning and fair migration system.
Tune in to @boldpolitics.bsky.social at 3pm tomorrow.

Happy Winter Solstice, where we celebrate the returning of the light, on the shortest day and longest night.
On the solstice, when the land feels closest to its oldest stories, we’re reminded how much of England’s past remains out of reach.
❄️ Happy Midwinter Solstice - The Nollaig na mBan (Women’s Christmas Cake) is now in the mixing stage - celebrating 'Little Christmas' on 6th January, a day when Irish men took on all the household duties & cake baking, giving the women a chance to put their feet up. #solstice
Closing the year with one of our highest ever polls.
Thank you everyone so much for your support and determination this year.
We're all just getting started.

Happy Winter Solstice everyone.
One of my first oil paintings from 1996 of Avebury where I went to primary school. Being there had a profound influence on my work.
Lighter days ahead.
Shooting hares will finally be banned for most of the year, and a ban on trail hunting will be announced Monday as part of a package of animal welfare measures
Will the govt also move to ban or license grouse & pheasant shooting…?

BOYCOTT EUROVISION With photo of a destroyed car and buildings in Gaza Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.
The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
