In the 90s, this sketch was satirical…

Look at the feathered fella waiting patiently to extinguish a life in the pursuit of luncheon. The Heron haunts the banks of the Avon....... #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #Heron #Riverside #PeacefulScenes #WinterNature #BirdWatching #CountrysideViews #ExploreNature #RoamingThePaths

Here's some of the chaos on the road network yesterday. The M5 Gloucester northbound. The entire journey that usually takes 4 hours on a friday was done in just under 3. Never believe a newspaper. #seasonal #travel #driving #motorway #M5

A cold wind blowing across the Lambourn Downs yesterday. I saw more horses in one morning than in the previous 6 months. (A dozen horses were on the horizon to my left). I was glad to get out the wind.

At long last, Richmond Sausages have been correctly labelled!! 😂

Zappa was way ahead of his time - insightful and perfectly articulate.

Here's a beauty for Fingerpost Friday #fingerpostfriday #EnglishCountryside #RuralLife #ScenicWalks #HistoricSignposts #ExploreUK #AutumnVibes #WalkingThePaths #NaturePhotography #IdyllicViews #TravelEngland #CountrysidePhotography #VisitBerkshire #VillageLife #DiscoverMore #roamingthepaths

'After a lifetime of being restricted to a one-dimensional portrayal, it is only right in death that she can be remembered for the fully rounded person she was; with her flaws, her tears, and her once in a generation talent and all.' Rediscovering #sineadoconnor https://buff.ly/4eI7MrQ

Happy #FingerPostFriday from a sunny Somerset with quarter distance markers. ❤️ This was taken near the location of this week's gorgeous rainy episode. Episode 245 > bit.ly/LenRainQ

A somewhat sad and ancient fingerpost for this weeks #fingerpostfriday. I was on my way to having a Ploughman's Lunch at The Olde Forge which I reviewed here ploughmans-lunch.co.uk/the-old-forg... Have a look, see how it was. #roamingthepaths #ploughmanslunch

A little #bluesky treat for my followers on Bluedky today. A shout out to my new followers too - doubled in a few days. #😊

In tomorrow's video. Many things.... not least this map, which was drawn based on the explorations of Pytheas in around 300 to 330 BC. It didn't improve for over 1000 years. (Imo).

When the Seven Dwarfs sing "Hi Ho" on their way to work, none are playing instruments. This makes them unaccompanied miners

A good few days here. The other place reminds me of a pub that's been taken over by a deranged gang.

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social ahh, there you are! Goodbye X.

I'm quite new to Bluesky Could I ask you to share this post to get my account in front of those who care about the NHS So many good accounts from Twitter who don't know I'm on here Thank you 🙏😊

If you like a Ploughman's Lunch, then I'm sure you would live a Ploughman's Buffet! roaming-the-paths.co.uk/tickets/plou...

Finger-toast. This car needs slightly more than just a valeting. Berkshire Hampshire border, soon to be removed. #fingerpostfriday #fingerposts #fingerpost

ploughmans-lunch.co.uk #cheese It's the best!

Migrating to a new location. This is getting serious! ploughmans-lunch.co.uk Still much to do, though....

CLOSED!! Footpath closed (public right of way) with no explanation. I was puzzled. Then I wandered under the bridge and saw good reason!! The other side is just as horrific.

I'm doing a thing. Please share for awareness - donations are gladly received, but not required. fundraising.sands.org.uk/s/21632/22272

We support the weak against the powerful and stand for justice. Our values are the following: - Human rights. - Autonomy & self-governance. - Resistance against tyranny. - A more humane society. - Actions Not Nouns. #Anonymous

I'm doing a thing...... A share would be super, help raise awareness of the help available. A donation would be brilliant, but not expected. fundraising.sands.org.uk/fundraisers/...

I like this idea. Done. I want a nonsense free feed here. Little in the way of political stuff, lots in the way of fields, countryside, ecology and agriculture. OK, they do have politics, but only adult conversations please.

The right way up! #fingerpostfriday

Late entry to #fingerpostfriday. No idea why it's sideways...

Look at the batteries on that! They performed awesomely as indeed did Massive Attack #MassiveAttack What a great effort to reduce carbon and pollution for a festival / performance. #bristol #gridfairies #Banksy

A beautiful chalk stream full of life. Considering how precious it is, the upper reaches of the Salisbury Avon (why call it the Hampshire Avon) have not always been in good condition. Work by local volunteers, farmers and Wilts Wildlife are producing results. #chalkstream #pewseyvale #wiltshire

The Royal Oak in Marlborough winning in floral extravagance! Stunning. #publichouse #hangingbaskets
