💥 TOMORROW 💥 MAY 2 AT 7PM 💕 I’ll be at @rosslyncourt in MARGATE 🏖️ ☀️ “Many of her songs are from the 19th century and well and truly rooted in the class struggle; hers is a voice for truth telling but with a twinkle in the eye and a smile on the lips.” - Gavin McNamara #Fatea

Naturally, the pot of gold is on land owned by the rich

Life beyond our solar system...I imagine the Tories are sending messages to try and negotiate them taking small boat migrants. For a fee.

Very meta. Gillian Anderson quotes Taylor Swift above an image from the X Files

Allotment starting to take shape.
