When you booked a holiday on the sunrise coast in Thailand rather than sunset, so alarm set for 5am to capture this

I think it’s been about 11 months since I posted anything here on BlueSky. My husband died suddenly just before Christmas. It’s been a tough year and I’m only just starting to interact with the world. Here’s Venice from late October’s solo trip🧡

My favourite drive home from work a few years ago. This road over the Kirkstone Pass towards Ambleside in the Lake District is called ‘The Struggle’. Aptly named. That’s Windermere in the distance

A room full of Buddhas at Wat Samret temple, Koh Samui, Thailand. Discovered by accident when left to wander while our taxi driver nipped to pay respects at a funeral. An amazing sight🧡

Must be time for some flowers. This was the last picture I took on my dog walks before we went into lockdown in 2020 and our world’s contracted to those places near home.

Time for some more vivid blue from Oia, Santorini. Taken before the new fad of the ‘flying dress’ photoshoot, with women in acres of fabric stood on church roofs🫣 No edits, it really was this blue

Vivid skies in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. A quick snap rather than a considered composition as I had a rather good margarita in the other hand!
Recommend Malaysian Borneo to all sunset hunters🌞

The start of another week of #AlphabetChallenge. This is my first go at #WeekVforVibrant

These are the vibrant blue roofs of Oia, Santorini taken early morning before the cruise ship hoards arrived

Well the Woodpecker post went wild!! I don't want to get a reputation for "comedy" photos but I can't resist this. Robin sitting on my garden table in a hollow in the snow couple of years back! #birds #ukbirding #uknature #ukwildlife #photography #canon

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

Today’s #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnder is another London shot. Us Northerners occasionally venture to the capital for the photographic opportunities.
This is under the roof of the Natural History Museum

It’s a good job I’m off work at the moment, I’m spending way too much time looking for more entries to the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnder

This is under the ornate ceiling of the Leadenhall market in the City of London.

Children are poor because mothers are poor. If we don't address the drivers of women's poverty and earnings - including barriers to flexible well paid work, transport and unaffordable childcare - it's harder to tackle children's poverty. An astonishing 5.2 million children in poverty in UK.
Yesterday, we joined the government’s Child Poverty Taskforce to discuss how increasing parents’ earnings can reduce poverty. Women’s earnings are vital, but barriers like unaffordable childcare, poor transport, and a lack of flexible jobs hold mothers back.

We urge action to tackle these issues.

Clarkson is such a cock. Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the poor millionaires?!

Nurses survived on food banks (despite many dying during covid) whilst you lot paid v. little on inherited multi million pound estates and slated striking workers.

Sit down you posh bellends.

Nobody cares.

Obvs we won't for now, but come on, it's nice here.

Well it had to happen sooner or later. Just had my first DM calling me sexy and asking how I’m doing. And not in a Joey Tribbiani way.
How do I block on this so far refreshingly un-pervy platform?!

If you’d rather stick needles in your eyes and cut your spleen out with a rusty knife then eat it, rather than vote Tory after what they’ve done to the country then we should be following each other.
See you soon. 😀
