@Jan_Leeming ITV regions have such a rich heritage. Lovely photos!

@paul_gtastic Watched Aldershot play there in the early '80s from memory. Not the smartest of grounds but had real character.

Sandwiched between Morrisons and Lidl in Newquay, Cornwall is a tiny bit of scrub where this gorgeous fullsome hawthorn is in flower. Proof that nature needs little help to flourish. Let's help by treasuring and connecting our UK scrubland. @Cornwall_BC

Fresh soft-winged Wall Brown today at NT Trerice. A common insect of my youth now sadly local and restricted somewhat to coastal areas

@HedgehogCabin Strimmers are a proper menace in the wrong hands

All butterflies and moths are beautiful and precious but seeing a majestic White Admiral sweep down to float across a bramble patch and settle on a warm summer's day is something to hope for every year. Do vote for your favourite!

Lovely day out at @NTTrelissick and Feock village yesterday. Sumptuous scenery @NTSouthWest

[Tony Baines @onside9]

Great to be back at the wonderful cafe at Bedruthan Steps. No better place to fuel up after a walk along the glorious North Cornish Coast @NTSouthWest @nt_scones

@Radiojottings @tvark Paddy Feeny. Top bloke. Briefly worked on World Service Saturday Special. In it's heyday it had a vast and very very loyal audience. Paddy was a proper celebrity in ex-Colonial parts of the world.

@iancbeavis Perhaps it arrived on an incoming train earlier??

[Tony Baines @onside9]

@ConfessionsPete Honestly, you really don't care.

Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards walk out to bat for Hampshire in 1973.

I don’t envy whoever was the county pro who had to open the bowling against them.

@1968Tv Know traditionalists won't like it but it's a shame the FA Cup Final didn't move with the times and copy some of the entertainment caché of the Superbowl. It might have become a worldwide watch and saved the glorious old competition.

Seems quite early for a bee swarm but one high up in our nearby ancient oak this afternoon 🐝🐝

[Tony Baines @onside9]

Ok it's only apple blossom but it brings a proper feel good factor. Spring is here again at last 🍎🌸🍏

@hantscricket Amazing cricketer and widely liked within the game. Many years ago we made a short documentary about his life for ITV Meridian. Sad that he's not around to impart his knowledge and skills to future generations. @theprowt
