Broad bordered bee hawkmoth seen at #RSPB Arne Dorset today. Also saw a cuckoo for the first time, sitting in the top a tree cuckooing. A wonderful day in perfect weather. Back home to the joys of North Yorkshire tomorrow.

Brilliant artistry from the Thirsk Yarnbombers to mark the beginning of Spring. Amazing craft work to create such joy for visitors to Thirsk market place.

Surround yourself with wonderful #Van Gogh paintings, walls, floor ceilings. Evocative music and scents with marvellous quotes from Vincent. All at #RegencyHall Bradford. A really great experience.
