This is so on point. Absolutely spot on. Do read it.

Interesting. apple.news/ASPm7oCbOQYe... The article concludes that quartz watches were “watches second, jewellery first”. With me it is definitely the other way around!

Hallmark missing a trick 💗⚓️🌹

'Safety first' when sacking Rome.

This makes perfect sense, so why are the political parties so concerned when the next general election is more than 4 years away?

This “who can be more like Reform” competition between Labour & Tory is getting ridiculous. The right wing press will criticise Labour regardless of what they do, so why don’t they take advantage of their huge majority and do something positive?

Whilst I feel sorry for councils having their budgets squeezed for almost 15 years, I also believe that they should stop spending on things that only a tiny amount of people want. apple.news/APTNTDlWJQ1i...

I love stumbling upon little free book exchange libraries.... this one in Dulwich, south London, even has a glass front built in to protect it from the elements! Love libraries. Books for life.

Wow, this really hit home. Makes me think about my poor old dad, and maybe what my children may think about me when I’m no longer here…

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Oh dear! 😄 @hilli.tech

Perhaps he was just worried he’d crumble into dust, or spontaneously combust?

If you don’t fancy watching the Inauguration tonight we are showing 24 hours in police custody at the same time which we aren’t saying is connected in any way shape or form…

Can 100% relate to this!

Finally, some positivity from the press regarding Rachel Reeves. Usual decent, honest content from @iandunt.bsky.social apple.news/A1coNMM7RSte...

Bloody hell. This really does put you off buying a new car. Looks like I’ll be keeping my old Skoda going as long as it can, then replacing it with something manufactured before 2022! Maybe it’s time to think about running a classic? 🤔 apple.news/AWGKLP9BARwm...

I don’t think that people with mobility problems or with small children, who may need to open their car doors a little wider would appreciate being referred to as “gormless”.

Repurpose Christmas cards to save money

This past Fall I was honored to be asked by the Tolkien Society to illustrate their 2024 Holiday Card. I focused upon a quiet moment reflecting Tolkien's own aesthetic in small, homey places. There is real magic there. Happy New Year to you all! Gifts from the Blue Mountains 12" x 16" Oil on Panel

@motoringpodcast.com Happy New Year gentlemen. Just wondering if you could use this as a possible list of the week? apple.news/AvaemoE3CRGy...

Love this. Happy New Year folks.

Bloody hell! 😳

Spectacular lights at the Eden Project tonight! #cornwall

Rather pleased with this shot of Tintagel from the Cornish costal path. #cornwall

Why didn’t Ford just make electric versions of the Focus and Fiesta, two very popular and familiar cars, to help people transition? People adapt slowly to change, so perhaps a little familiarity would have helped? apple.news/AoZkNgjlPSri...
