This gentleman?
I was thinking that might be Boudicca but thatβs a gentleman blackbird. π¦ββ¬
Good luck. Thatβs quite tough!
The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

Tell us about St Piran, said Wolf, who loved the well-worn tales. "Well," said Old Fox, as if telling for the first time, "he was tied to a mill-stone by jealous fellows in Ireland, and thrown over the top of a cliff as high as our White Nothe. The sea below was dark and stormy and heaving, but the moment that worn old stone broke the water, it calmed, calmed to the glassy still of a mill pond itself! He floated day and night like a calm, spinning otter, gazing up at the passing summer clouds and the bright stars, until he reached the coast of Cornwall. He washed up at first light, and was found and untied and blanketed and fed and watered by his very first disciples - a Fox, a Badger & a Bear. A very scholarly trio from the nearby village. Good and sensible companions. Kind as could be. Noble Cornish folk. And he taught them there on the long, curved beach of Perranzabuloe, where we went that time on our holiday, where the Atlantic roars day and night. Their seminary was in a sheltered hollow full of flowers - shepherd's needle and sea thrift and weasel's-snout - and butterflies, so many butterflies, their wings as silvery and bright as a mermaid's scales.
Happy St Piran's Day, one and all!

Dozens of trains cancelled after fire near Glasgow Central station | Cambs Times share.google/yHI9fTo1p9I6...
Anyone commuting into Glasgow Central Station for work tomorrow, the station is shut until further notice due to a fire on Union Street..
This makes me feel physically sick.
Canβt beat it for roasties, either!
Placing bets?

Only ones I ever liked where in Walton, Liverpool where the chip were cooked in beef tallow on a coal fired range. Probably long gone now as it was archaic in the 70s/80s.
Has anyone ever made Good Friday Caraway Bread, traditionally popular in the West Country?
Soon please.
Food and wine are also little known treasures!
I almost envy you - so much to see for the first time.
It is an under valued gem. Do let me know if I can be of any help.
Even lovelier. So much we donβt show!
Well this is just adorable
Thatβs where it started.
Oh pooh, that sucks. Hope you can find some consolation elsewhere.
That sounds a whole lot more dodgy that it was intended toβ¦

I also have a few boxes of original 1930βs 1950β deadstock milliners flowers - for hats, fascinators, corsages. If anyone is interested in these let me know! #fashionhistory #vintagedeadstock #vintagefashion
No. Describes the year thus far perfectly.
Excellent.
Is it wrong to laugh?
