Hey Rishi Sunak what did you see in the shaving mirror this morning 🧐 ? Probably just the wall behind you.

Ageing beautifully ….

A stop-the-car-and-stand-and-watch sort of evening light over the Hope Valley. Climbers, farmers, rescuers, walkers etc etc all rejoicing in two days of sun. Raining again tomorrow mind.

Nice flying weather.

Manchester. It’s #blossomweek . Please take this lovely National Trust map and explore the blossoming streets of your beautiful city. See the lovely blossom-wrapped trams and the tram stops covered in pink and blossomy poetry by the Poet Laureate. Heady stuff. Enjoy!

They made me.

Man posts in climbing forum asking about an unusual symbol on a gravestone in a remote cemetery. Son-in-law of the deceased happens to be a climber, goes on UKC, reads the thread and responds with the family's history. Incredible coincidence and story. ukclimbing.com/forums/off_bel…

First real actual copy of my book Less. Quite exciting. You can pre-order using the link below. And you should, because its one heck of a great book.

Exciting news 📢

We’re opening our bar up to the public for a few pop up dates this year - the first being the first weekend in May

With the village having no pub we’re hoping we can fill a void a few days/nights this year

Pop in for a beer 🍺 let’s hope the sun is shining ☀️

…. and that was Mark Menzies with his Brazilian escort scene inspired dance single ‘Bad People’ out now on Held Captive™️ records. The B Side ‘Five Thousand Pounds And Rising’ features backing vocals by Campaign Manager.

Tories for a month: BUUUURN ANGELA RAYNER!!!!!

Grant Shapps this morning to Kay Burley: “There’s a process in this country where one is innocent until proven guilty - not guilty simply because an allegation is made.”

Provided “one” is not a working class woman, evidently.

Morning. I know there’s lots going off and stuff ….. but i’ve just noticed that on page 13 of ‘Songs For Ramblers’ by Bert Ward the song ‘’The Sheepskin and the Jumper’ mentions the ‘Grouse and Trout’ inn. That’s all …

That Afghan interpreters could be the first on planes to Rwanda should shame the country.
Anyone prepared to die for a country should be allowed to live in it.

After this vandalism last Spring, the council rightly apologised and planted a large patch of wildflowers on the estate to make up the incident which were just starting to come up this week.

This morning they mowed down the wildflower they themselves had planted. Words fail me.

I wonder what the retired Army officers that now serve as MPs that just voted to send Afghan translators to Rwanda will see looking back at them in the shaving mirror tomorrow morning. A spineless betrayer probably.

Not a single one of the many cases brought against The Sun for illegal activity (unlike the defunct News of the World) has come to court, where the full evidence would have been made public. The cost to Rupert Murdoch of keeping the full, sordid details secret is staggering.

‘They Just Don’t Care’

I’m seeing lots of posts bemoaning that the Year 11s just don’t seem to care about their upcoming GCSEs. They aren’t motivated or worried about their speaking exams starting in two weeks time and nothing seems to make a difference.
