Torcross and Slapton on BBC News tonight because the main road along the coast has been washed away in the recent rough weather in Devon.

January in NE England has been wet wet wet, but it resulted in an impressive High Force waterfall on the River Tees last Saturday.

January weather in NE England has been rubbish so far. Generally Cold, grey, wet etc. The forecast for yesterday was better, so we took the opportunity to hike up Addlebrough, a 1600ft flat topped Fell in Wensleydale, Yorkshire.
We met no one and had a brilliant day out.
Good for the soul.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

Lithuanian president & people paid their respects to 4 American servicemen who died during training exercise.

When the soldier’s remains arrived at Dover Air force Base, no US president was there to honor them on behalf of a grateful nation.
Trump was golfing & will dine with rich Saudis

My wife & I came across about 20 Swallows chasing bugs whilst we were walking along the River Tees from Piercebridge to Darlington yesterday.
Magic.

Milan to Paris, high-speed, 1st class, peak morning, for less than £50. No, they don't have a privatized rail network like ours, what made you ask?

15,000 people protested fascism and racism in Amsterdam yesterday.

See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣

(also: #sad) 😞

Perfect weather for last Saturday's 10ml walk on the Northumbrian Coast (UK)

Good morning from Cumbria, UK

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

A “chalet style” building, with an end chimney stack that tapers towards the top, Beautiful tiled roof with a very steep pitch to it. Carstone corner stones with flint nodule walls.

#Shernborne Village Hall, #Norfolk

An #ArtsandCrafts style chalet, which was moved from a former location stone by stone.

Originally built in 1908 as Queen Alexandra’s Bungalow at Shepherd’s Port, #Snettisham.

Demolished in 1925 & materials used to build village hall.

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect
Him to be strong.

Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought.

Trump is the worst negotiator

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
