Retorts

[RICHARD GRIFFITHS @Griffo2018]

The floors of @HanworthPkHouse are coming up to make room for temporary floors as you can see it’s far to dangerous to enter. In preparation for a late September start for restoration.

A very Happy #WorldAlbatrossDay from the Falkland Islands! 🦅

Home to 70% of the world’s Black-browed Albatross population, our Islands are a haven for this beautiful seabird, which arrives in September to breed and departs again by the end of April. 🇫🇰

The story we’re usually told is that Marilyn Monroe was a victim of Hollywood. 100 years on from her birth, the story that actually deserves telling is that, in 1955, she beat Twentieth Century Fox at its own game: https://t.co/PNyzaKL3xn

[Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon @GurdeepPandher]

Joy, in its healthiest form, is recognition. It says, I am here. You are here. We are sharing this minute on the same land, under the same wide sky. Happiness is not the elimination of fear and memory. It is learning to hold them without letting them drive. Fear can sit in the back seat. Memory can point to landmarks. But my hands stay on the steering wheel. When I dance in the cold of the Yukon or in the warmth of a crowded hall, I am choosing presence. I am choosing a kind of light that does not deny the dark, but refuses to be swallowed by it.

👑 NEW: Labour MP Nic Dakin is currently being held hostage in Buckingham Palace

It's a symbolic tradition from the 17th century to give the King "peace of mind" that he will safely return after opening Parliament

@Number10cat Or perhaps why we don’t have to suffer bankruptcy if we require medical care.

Thank you Nye Bevan.

@SeabrookCrisps Perfection was Perfectly Unsalted.

[Amazing Maps @amazingmap]

Angles, Saxons, and other groups from northern Europe began arriving in Britain during the 5th century, after Roman administration ended around 410 CE.

They came from areas around present-day Denmark, northern Germany, and the North Sea coast, crossing into eastern and southern Britain. Over time, these settlements expanded inland and developed into early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

The overall pattern reflects a gradual process over several generations, with shifting areas of control rather than fixed borders. Brittonic-speaking populations remained in much of the west and north, and settlement involved a mix of migration, local continuity, and cultural change rather than a single wave of replacement.
