I’m a lay pastor and gardener, I love cooking, art and dog walking. I live in an eco house. Despite being retired I’m still interested in tax. And reading. I read all the time even when I should be busy. I hate rainy days on holidays.happily married Alan.

As @adambienkov.bsky.social correctly points out the survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Keir Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year. Appallingly dishonest reporting of an opinion poll
This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen

Watching the #Eynsham #Morris dance in the village square is a fine old #BoxingDay tradition. They bring joy, music & colour on a misty, murky, midwinter's day. ❤️ I love the stick-whacking dances & the ones where they shout "Oi!"

Absolutely- so important we let our boys and young men feel it’s ok not to be the strong alpha male.
‘Don’t man up….
Instead
‘…talk, cry, scream’
This is so important & very poignant from @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social on men taking their ow lives

It was St Æthelwine of Athelney's day. Old Fox had great faith in him as a calmer of sorrow & hurt & he lit a tall beeswax candle to him in his study. It burnt steady & fiery in the cold November light & had a faint scent of borage & sweet peas & honeysuckle, of quiet June days.

Baking ahead for a family event in a few weeks. Purogs and cardamom buns. Only concern is whether we can resist them that long 🤨

Wolf & I share a birthday on the 23rd. I'm feeling worn down by everything, not least the mammoth effort to stay alive through draining treatments. So if you feel like buying me a hot chocolate on Kofi, joining my patreon or visiting my Etsy shop, we would both be most grateful. Links in my bio.

HelloBlueSky. I was on twitter since 2011 and loved it until it got taken over by horrid stuff. I’m into gardening, painting, God and theology, and life in all its fullness. I love gentle humour, interesting conversation, and tax (by retired now)
