Yes, playgrounds are good. But "up to 200 playgrounds" across a country of 60 million? That's a grain of salt in the Pacific Ocean. And presumably there will be some joyous 200 page application for every council who want to compete in the Playground Hunger Games to fill in...

Playgrounds are good, small things that matter for children and their families. Cross-generational 'social' infrastructure.

A photo of a European robin. The photo is mostly in shadow, the the dark part of the woods. A bit of sunlight is shining through in the right and some branches are highlighted in the light. The branches are coming out from the right as well. The left is pitch black. There is a wee robin perched on the very edge of one of the branches, also lit up by the sunlight. He is facing to the left.

An amazing survival. This panel dates from c.1230 and depicts the stoning to death of St Stephen. The text below the figures is in Lombardic letters and reads ‘STEPHANUS ORANS EXPIRAT’ (Stephen dies while praying). The panel is in Graveley church, Hampshire.

Two really important, fascinating books to add to the slimmest of cannons, of rural, working class women. @abrackenbury.bsky.social’s Village is a glorious compendium!

If archaeology tries to move away from an almost entirely graduate profession to create more diverse entry routes the commitment in #Budget2025 to offer 6 month placements to 18-21 yr olds who have been on UC and to fully fund apprenticeships in SME's, for eligible under 25's, could be important.

Give me sunlight, a comfortable chair and a wall of books! This makes me declare myself a most satisfied soul. For the library is a territory of wonder. It is home to a thousand wise voices who know words that open gates to the imagination. – #CLNolan, BBC National Programme, 1934 #Libraries

The Benty Grange Helmet, original & reconstruction. It was found in 1848 in a late C7 barrow in Derbyshire - the first Anglo-Saxon / early English example found in the country, 91 years before the #SuttonHoo discoveries. On display in Weston Park Museum, #Sheffield. #Museums Pics my own, from 2021.
The rusted remains of a very old helmet, on display in a museum. The head band, nose guard and main bands forming a cross over the skull survive, with part of a boar crest. For more detail, visit the item's entry on the museum website: https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/benty-grange-helmet/ A replica of the original helmet described in the alt-text to the other picture. This one is complete with extra bands, studded decoration on the bands, a cross on the nose guard and hair bristles on the boar crest.

Rural constituencies like North Herefordshire face additional costs in delivering services due to the unique challenges of rurality.

The govt must ensure the Fair Funding Review takes this into account and properly allocates the funding rural communities need.
