I never used to like pigeons, but this handsome devil is a charmer. When he sees me in the garden he flies down and asks for some seeds, and when I give him some he coos, which I think is him saying 'thank you.'

No part of my books will ever be written by AI. Infused into every word I write are fragments of my life, re-purposed and reshaped to find their place or provide a jumping-off point, a lateral leap to something new. All AI could ever come up with would be a crude pastiche.
Nice to see Little Amy again in the window of House of Smalls in #Stockbridge . She sells handcrafted cards and prints by women artists too. Well worth a look

Britain’s first female Concorde pilot, Barbara Harmer, meets Jo Salter, the RAF’s first female fast-jet pilot, in September 1995.
Two aviation pioneers, together in front of the aircraft they made history flying.
Saw the great John Luke Roberts at the Edinburgh festival today, great show at the slightly scuzzy Monkey Barrel
Edinburgh is a beautiful city but the Leonardo Royal Hotel is a building of startling ugliness! And why is Leonardo royal ?
