A Willerby butterfly
is silently singing
Glad That I Live Am I
only her daisy friends can
hear her loud and clear
and when she takes a bow
they’ll applaud and cheer
and demand an encore,
like they did the last time
and the time before.

I love this - they could have just picked 10 pics, replaced the old, tatty ones and had done with it. But involving the public - and having the local newspaper driving the voting campaign - is a great idea. 💚
My take on a night at the MKM Stadium that wasn’t as “pants” as it could have been… #hcafc

@hawkeditorial.bsky.social as Sam Martyn and I are sharing the headline with The London Sea Shanty Collective in a concert at Nordic House, Hull on May 3.
Yesterday we were on Fiona Mills' show on BBC Humberside talking all about our concert with the London Sea Shanty Collective at Nordic House next month!
If you missed it, listen again here (it's just over three hours in): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Really looking forward to this!
Caller put the phone down hastily after I said it would be a tenner to put an ad in for a £1,600 electric bike. Then there are those who come out in a fit of the vapours when we ask if they want to advertise with us. People forget that the Gazette is a small local business too.
Fair to say this has been quite the week... I hope we've done it justice.
Also, if anyone fancies chipping into our tip jar @ko-fi.com that'd be marvellous as that front page pic cost a chuffing fortune. Had to be done, though... 🫣 ko-fi.com/holdernessnews
Up to now the BBC News channel has said this happened "off the coast of Hull", interviewed the Hull City Council leader (but not the East Riding leader, as far as I can see and I've been watching it all night), as well as a wildlife expert at Bempton, about 45 miles away... (why not Spurn?). Odd

What a fab night @stage4beverley.bsky.social at the Monks Walk - wonderful chilled-out acoustic atmosphere, and some top-drawer music. Privileged to be part of it with @wolfyohare.bsky.social 🎶❤️
Only kidding, he clapped politely and left 😂
So i think it went pretty well, I’d maybe give myself 8.5/10 - points knocked off for fluffing lines when looking up and seeing NIGEL PLANER OFF OF THE YOUNG ONES watching me. He watched the whole show and said he’d put me on to his agent!
🚨 TONIGHT: I will be doing @stage4beverley.bsky.social's Late Night Club solo: @wolfyohare.bsky.social has been under the weather, sadly, BUT he will be returning for the informal acoustic session at the Monks Walk tomorrow! Please do come if you can!

If you're heading into Beverley for the festival this week, please allow plenty of time. There's heavy traffic at the moment due to roadworks, so we recommend setting out early to beat the rush. After all, you wouldn't want to miss a moment of the amazing music and poetry we've got in store!
This is gonna be a lovely night! ❤️🎶
I reckon this is a story that could run and run in our region full of vast, flat fields...
Anonymous wealthy benefactors, do your thing! 😂
Loads of content in here again! Please support us if you can - #LocalNewsMatters 💚
What is wrong with couriers? I just found this #AmazonUK parcel after taking the bins out. You were sooo close! Only 3 more yards to a parcel box and letterbox! Good job the contents are waterproof innit 🙄
Coming up this Wednesday, February 5: Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show (YAMS) – the leading one-day award-winning show in the North of England.
