I remember collecting Pg Tips cards for Ships, Dinosaurs and Spacecraft. Do you remember what year they did the butterflies?

I’ve seen quite a few Brimestones so far this year. We have a peacock still in hibernation in our leanto waiting patiently for spring to truly start. The video is from Wednesday in Titmore Green.

Sign the Petition Keep Trump out of Parliament

I just told Speaker Hoyle to keep Trump out of Parliament - will you do the same? actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump

It’s looking good so far. Loads of queen bumbles about and reports of hairy footed flower bees are about too. Honey bee colonies are looking strong too.

Bean me up Scotty!
I think he was actually beamed down from the mothership in the very first episode of Mr Bean, his not actually human.

There’s got to be a first. I was planning on it being me but if you want to join me 😉

If you can find the prequel to the reboot of “Battle Star Galatitica” called “Caprica”, this very subject is covered with devastating consequences for their creators. It’s worth digging out and watching if you can find it.

In that case I’m going to start a one man band called 999mb cos I’m sure I won’t get a Gig 😝

Good Morning Terra 🌍

It’s a great book that we use for all our beginners courses at NHBKA. It contains everything a beginner needs to know and more.

Poor ol Chris Hawkins has done Craig’s show more than him. I think they should say that Craig is filling in for Chris like he did for Shaun before they unkindly booted him out.

Currently on vacation in Tenerife. Weather is amazing, so much warmer than back home.

MAH’s are always carefully curated and interesting, I’ve been introduced to so many new artists by her shows. Another example of 6music getting it so wrong.

Feeling V sorry for Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC6Music. I’ve listen to her shows on 6music for about 12years only to find out today that she has been side lined. Would appear that what Lauren Laverne wants, she gets. First it was Shaun’s morning show and now it’s the mid morning show.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
