@LindaR39 2/2 I.e. regular motorway driving, lack of accidents although that’s not always a reliable indicator. I enjoy driving and I hope I would know when it’s time to give up.

@LindaR39 I’m 70 last year I drove from the north west of England to the La Rochelle area, including a drive around Paris ( I wasn’t lost) some of us are very competent drivers and others are not, it shouldn’t be one size fits all, driving history should be taken into account 1/2

@NeilThin @Independent Neil when I went to Uni we were told in our first lecture that plagiarism was a course ending crime. We were also taught how to reference all sources. That was 20 years ago and times have changed but still ….

@BrushieBrown @Nat_m0_rr1 @MattSunRoyal First of all it’s the Masses, as in a mass of people and secondly intelligent and intelligible have 2 different meanings. That is all. There will be no further questions at this time.

Today is Lammas, England's forgotten harvest festival.

Celebrated on 1 August for well over 1,000 years, Lammas was one of the most important days in the English calendar.

First recorded in the 9th century, Lammas takes its name from the Old English hlāf-maesse, meaning "Loaf Mass."

Farmers baked the first loaf from the new wheat harvest and took it to church to be blessed in thanksgiving.

For our ancestors, this wasn't simply a religious ceremony. It was a celebration of survival.

A successful harvest meant bread on the table through the coming winter. A poor harvest could bring hunger and hardship. Few days carried greater importance.

In medieval England, Lammas also marked the end of haymaking, the opening of the grain harvest, and in many places the start of harvest fairs, games and community gatherings.

Although Christmas and Easter remain widely celebrated, Lammas has largely disappeared from everyday life, despite being one of England's oldest seasonal traditions.

In a world where abundance is often taken for granted, Lammas reminds us to be thankful for what we have.

@capTercio I think their disappointment was compounded by the fact that they were absolutely sure they were going to win. All the previous bad behaviour was ignored for some reason and they didn’t understand why the tactics didn’t work this time.

Last week I completed the Three Peaks over 3 days fundraising for @BrainTumourOrg in memory of our son Joe who we lost to a brain tumour 6 years ago aged 26.

The idea was to do it solo, driving myself and taking an ironing board, iron and charity t-shirt up each peak, ironing the t-shirt on the top. I will admit to being a bit worried about what people might thing of some weird bloke carrying an ironing board but I could not have been more wrong.

What started as a charity fundraiser was very much a life affirming three days for me. In amongst all the political noise and all the social media hype and angst there really are some lovely, kind people out there.

All sorts of them spoke to me, wished me luck, asked what I was doing and were fascinated by the whole extreme ironing idea (Google it!). Many shared their own experiences of friends and family with brain tumour diagnoses. Some gave me cash or scanned the QR code linked to my JustGiving page, overall I raised over £300 on the walks alone.

On Ben Nevis I met Paul who had lost a friend to a brain tumour and Rich who was helping a friend who had failed to reach the summit on his last attempt but made it this time. A couple of lads from Glasgow were videoing me videoing myself ironing my t-shirt and promised to "put it on ma insta".

On Scafell Pike I was joined by an old friend of 40 plus years who happened to be solo walking in the lakes that week and we met The Wasdale Womble (aka Lindsay) who litter picks up and down the fells and does Scafell Pike hundreds of times a year. We met Yanni and Mary & Richard who gave us donations and best wishes. Also a shout out to two very hungover Port Vale fans who were using the climb as a hangover cure, fair play boys.

On Snowdon I met Welsh Spiderman (aka Dylan's charity walk of Yr Wyddfa) who fundraises for various local causes and was on his 90+ ascent of the year bringing smiles to many faces and who joined me for part of the walk. Caroline who thrust some cash in my hand while I was queuing for an ice cream and wished me luck and the lady who helped to video my ironing who had lost a friend 2 years ago to a brain tumour.

On Ben Nevis I had also recorded a video for the wonderful people at @DellTechUK who have been fundraising for us this year and they showed it on an all hands call while I was up Snowdon with the QR code and raised almost £1,000 in just a few minutes.

All in all we have raised over £4,000 with Gift Aid so far and hopefully spread the message about brain tumours which are the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s and very much an underfunded cancer.
