In 2017 @michaelgove invited me into Defra for a private meeting to discuss argiculture policy. He told me Brexit was good because it stopped the rise of far right parties here, like those elsewhere in Europe. As I watch the rise of ReformUK all I can say is Gove, this is on you.

[James Weaver @MerseaIslandBoy]

It’s just common sense really…

🇪🇺 Happy Europe Day!

💚 The Green Party is committed to fixing our relationship with the EU in a post-Brexit world and ensuring that the UK is 'rejoin-ready'.

@JimPullen9 That’s a beauty Jim.

[James Weaver @MerseaIslandBoy]

@JimPullen9 A spectacular shot Jim, love it.

[James Weaver @MerseaIslandBoy]

This morning’s sourdough… not fishing for compliments, just chuffed with it… I’ll stop posting these soon I promise.

@NewWaveAndPunk The grooves, the poetry, the humour, a masterpiece indeed, one of my all time favourites!

I managed to finish another watercolour this afternoon, Trebarwith Strand, I love watching the sunset there when the tide is up in the gulley splashing over the rocks. Watercolour on Khadi Paper

@printmakermike I think Edward Hopper would be pleased with this one 👍

@Philippa_Perry The painting is often finished before I am.
