@SafferTheGaffer Don’t worry, it’s just been pollarded. Pollarding (trimming tree branches, done in the growing season) is required to maintain healthy growth in some species of tree. It will grow back stronger in the next couple of years.

@MaureenPlatts So beautiful! What vivid greens

[Mouse Bishop of St Albans @MouseBishop]

Yorkshire craftsman Robert Thompson became known as ‘Mouseman’ because he carved a mouse on almost everything he made. This one’s in Southwell Minster. As you can imagine, he is very popular amongst my kind…

A pal just sent me this comparison of a famous 1760s portrait of George III that I've seen in a zillion textbooks and the shape of England and I've been missing the point the entire time.

A photo thread…

[Brendan Cormier @BrendanCormier]

Harold Burdekin’s superb photos of 1930s London at night, a fantastic mix of light, shadow and fog, and suggestive paths into the unknown.

A Cornish artist has created a series of artworks based upon negative Tripadvisor reviews and they’re hilarious.
