This is a lovely walk from the pretty #NorthDevon village of Mortehoe to Morte Point & Bull Point. Navigation is easy as you’re either on the obvious Coast Path or tarmac on the return from Bull Point. A good chance of seeing seals. Details at tinyurl.com/2y7dbavu #Devon

Cleaning bricks seems to be so sexy for some. I am concerned that people are mishearing 'bricks.' Well, check out these filthy bricks that are exploding on our channel youtube.com/shorts/BVMWy... #gardening 🌱

Dividing overgrown clumps of Carex 'Evergold' on a project. It's amazing to see how 2litre pots become such huge plants. Extending the swath to meet the plant and moved some roses. #Garden #Gardening #Plants 🌱

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

Why is govt allowing #BBCWorldService to be cut? 130 more jobs are going: London-based experts at WS, #BBCMonitoring, international #science #business progs, in time of #Trump #Putin. We’re in a #disinformation crisis. BBC management must make no more cuts. Government must act to refund it.
