One of my favourite views in the whole of #Shropshire - Ludlow Castle seen from Whitcliffe Common. The medieval ruins are bathed in a golden glow at sunset, making them stand out against the distant dark slopes of Brown Clee. The light didn't last for long, so I was glad I was there to capture it.

The magnificent Iranian plateau is super rugged with massive northeast & southwest running mountain ranges with both ice and (rare) salt glaciers but also two expansive salt deserts (one being one of the hottest spots on earth)

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we werenโ€™t going to worry about โ€œstupid rules of engagementโ€ anymore.

The estate groundsmen are doing jobs to spreadsheet instead of need again.

The hedges cut back at the beginning of winter and not grown since are being attacked with chainsaws.

They's cutting away the sound barrier between the flats and the main road.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

On of the attractions of my secondary school (attended 1974โ€“81)was that it did "Nuffield Science" which was very much learning by doing.

We'd probably have made mustards gas. ๐Ÿคฃ

But it was understandably expensive. I'm guessing it's fallen to budget constraints.
