I'm going to have to find a cd player again now.

The elves in LotR are the boomers of Middle Earth. Enjoyed years of living through the good times, not fixing the problems and calling the younger people weak, and then as soon as things start to go downhill, buggering off to their exclusive retirement home across the sea.

This here is one of the great U-boat hunters of the Second World War. Grab a comfy seat and a glass of something pleasing. We're going on a journey...

Here’s a song about #Signalgate – the flamboyant US security breach – adapted from one of our all-time fave Bee Gees songs, titled “You Were Not Supposed to Message it Through!” A quick turnaround, but only 5 of us as Alfie (really our best fake Bee Gee) is away 🔥👊💪🙏🎶 youtu.be/rPfwtXulKS4

It wouldn't be a trip to the Netherlands without a picture of some #tulips #thenetherlands

A day out with my family at the utterly bonkers #efterling

I appear to have ordered the Dutch version of a cheesy hammy eggy. iykyk

I hope @weechrissieb.bsky.social has seen this

First time at sea in over a year but only the ferry from Harwich to Hook van Holland. Off on our holidays days leaving the MiL to guard the house and look after the cats

For Mother's Day I got my mum some new beads for her abacus. It’s the little things that count.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Today is #TolkienReadingDay! Founded by the Society and held on the date the Ring was destroyed, Tolkien Reading Day is an opportunity to read your favourite #Tolkien passages. This year's theme is "Fellowship and Community". But what will you be reading? www.tolkiensociety.org/2025/03/toda...

Had a great day so far, parkrun this morning. A monumental coach trip to London. Science museum, a (crap) McDonald's for tea and now for the cherry on the cake, the Mountbatten Festival of Music

This was written by Laura Dern in a letter to her daughter, I think this core piece of advice applies to all of us. "Most of your life will happen in the gray spaces between bliss and heartbreak, between having everything lock into place and having it all fall apart. That’s where the grace is."

As the size of merchant ships continues to grow, spare a thought for the harbour pilots who have to board them. #Pilots #Bulkcarriers #Containerships
