.George Monbiot: "I've seen what were described as once in a 1,000 year occurrences happening several times now in the past decade. We're seeing a massive acceleration and intensification of extreme weather events"

So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for buying and making pornographic images of children, while peaceful environmental defenders seeking to prevent social catastrophe get 3, 4 and 5 years. Some justice, this.

Because we know you’ll love this photo of Prior Park as much as we do…

And for a topical subject, I talked to Hillary Clinton about life, books and everything, on BBC4 on Tuesday 17th at 23.00 and here on iPlayer tinyurl.com/5n6b9jau

I *finally* found some ship timbers in a pub this evening...

85 year old Judith is losing her £300 winter fuel allowance and Richard Madeley invites her to blame the train drivers. Well done to Judith for putting the attention onto the profiteering energy companies instead #GMB

A jolly and affectionate portrait of Lowry by Sheffield artist, Bill Kirby (1934 - 2019) #Art

An arresting #TombTuesday in Brompton Cemetery. To ensure a distinctive monument for himself, Valentine Prinsep RA, wannabe great Pre-Raphaelite artist, bought 'tomb chest' decorated w 14th C figures. But it's weathered so badly since 1904 burial, it's thought he was sold a fake.

Now it’s Turkey. Mexico City is currently like a raging river. Parts of Poland have broken their September rainfall records by 3 times. David Attenborough warns of the collapse of civilisation. It’s clearly happening faster than expected. Why not more concern from the media?

Portugal burning. The issue isn’t how wildfires start. Fires start all the time - arson, electric faults, cigarettes, glass etc - it’s why they become unstoppable wildfires - which is more likely to happen the hotter and drier it is. And this summer, globally, was the hottest

September’s full moon, the Harvest Moon, should be visible this evening. Peter Brook began experimenting with the effects of lunar light on his trademark Pennine ruins in the early 2000’s, producing a series of paintings like ‘This Place is Badly in Need of a Lick of Paint’.

The tiny undedicated church at Hailes, Gloucestershire holds one of my favourite medieval wall paintings, a hunting scene complete with a trio of Greyhounds coursing a hare. It could have been lifted from a manuscript. There’s so much else as well, a later rood screen, roughly

At the moment in Naples it’s raining so hard it’s blown the manhole covers off the drains.

#SuperMoon I walked into the bedroom and thought I’d left a light on. That bright light is moonlight !!

A few weeks ago, whilst making my latest #wildlifepond & #wildflowermeadow in #Wales, I installed a “predator perch” to encourage a few different birds into the space. Today, I received THIS from the client…. Chuffed isn’t the word! 😁😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🔥Former ToryPM John Major on the Rwanda scheme: “I thought it was unConservative, unBritish, unChristian and unconscionable. We used to transport people 300 years ago from our country. I don’t think transportation is a policy suitable for the 20th century.”

Trump's election promises are becoming so ridiculous that they are an insult to the minds of voters. Peace in Ukraine in a day, world peace in a week, abundant water for California, cut gas prices in half. What next, free food, health care & endless vacations?

This lady claims Donald Trump actually WORKS for God. Here are others I believe work or have worked for God: Kemi Badenough Margaret Thatcher Jenny Agutter Leslie Crowther The cast of ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’ Toyah Sooty Judi Dench Nonnie Donegan Hamsters.
