@dranniegray.bsky.social my godson likes the Patrick O’Brian M&C series and says there’s a pudding called a “drowned baby”. What is this, o Queen of puddings?

And Chris Whitty reminds us that cycling is, in fact, a perfectly normal thing to do, a perfectly healthy thing to do, and a cheap form of transport. No lycra necessary. (Or cycle helmets, IMO. Shhhh!!!)

12 mayors commit themselves to a 'national active travel network', including our own Paul Bristow 💙. This is brilliant. We have at least four primary schools within walking distance of Mill Road.
