Things I’m interested in include gardening, nature, comedy, photography, family history, Yorkshire, and canals.

@aurorematic @howarddawber @BootsUK Much cheaper in Savers and always check there to stock up, but otherwise I go checking other shops for Fexo-Whatchamacallit

@CarlBovisNature I see your photos everyday. I love to see kingfishers. This is my only photo of a kingfisher! Taken from a narrowboat - the kingfisher is a tiny dot very near the middle of the photo, flying away from us close to water. 😂

@StuartHumphryes Could it be Trevithick’s Cottage, now owned by the National Trust? This is what I found via Google

@MaureenPlatts Thanks for mentioning him. Just looked him up. Great photos.

@GraemePeacock1 @gateshead @Natures_Voice Well, Albee-Eater was recently spotted at Spurn, so the app might have been correct!

[Spurn Bird Observatory @spurnbirdobs]

Today's sightings featured a Bee-eater south past The Warren, Spoonbill north from Kilnsea Wetlands, Curlew Sandpiper off the Warren screen and among a large influx of Painted Lady butterflies, our first Lesser Emperor Dragonfly of the year around Beacon Lane. #Spurnbirds (1/2)

@GenealogyBeech Well, I didn’t know about Abel Cross! I’ve been to Lumb Falls several times so must have passed the turning for the track that goes past them!

@MorningInternet @supertolerant I didn’t go to Wimpy until I was a student in the 1970s. Went once with friends. Then never went again.

@hp88 @PaulSuttonKing This is surely a TV series waiting to be written.

@PaulSuttonKing The building on the left is still there!

@tygerina @HWarlow The Lumb Falls are in Crimsworth Dean near Hebden Bridge. A photo taken there just before WW1 inspired Ted Hughes poem Six Young Men

@CarlBovisNature It looks like it has 2 wings rather than 4, which would make it a hoverfly, rather than a wasp or bee.

@1ssve I used to put - Did you know that you can add “Zoë” to your dictionary so that it will appear as a suggestion for you when you type “Zo”? Retired now, so It happens less often.

@HWarlow I’m so sorry, Helen. I hope you find some comfort in the artwork, and from Max.

@PaulSuttonKing @ClappDescendant @whateverGB2025 Owe, I didn’t spot the air brick! The style of the chimney stacks match as well. Also, the first block of houses is forward of the others, and the number of houses in each block matches.

@PaulSuttonKing I think it is Portsmouth ( and yes, I have looked at several Hartley Rds!)

@Jonny_artist When I was pregnant someone said ‘the first 18yrs are the worst’. I laughed. A little while later I told my Mum. She said ‘no, the first 31yrs’, which was the age of my older brother at the time.

@IamHappyHiker Detest the stuff. I avoid buying anything scented if I can.
