Did she just call immuno-compromised people - those who have received organ transplants for example - as bedwetters. Come on @lbc -I could do better than Rachel Johnson. We are in a different place now. She's not cool at all.
Rachel Johnson was only hired by LBC because her brother was PM. Now he's not, and he's been fired in disgrace. So it's her turn to go. RT if you agree.

@robinmmorrison gave a talk on his photography skills (& secrets!) which was absolutely fantastic. Patience, luck & early rise/late to bed are all necessary, not just good equipment. None of Robin’s photos are edited, they are wonderful just as they are. A truly lovely evening.

Incredible view of a Gannet fishing, in a flat calm sea, from Berry Head #Brixham #Devon back in April. Seen here diving and successfully catching a Garfish. @BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch @WildlifeMag @Natures_Voice @DevonWildlife @DevonBirds @DavidSa18272955

I have a tiny #Somerset garden. It's a bit rough and overgrown in place but the birds love it. Blackbirds & Robins collect worms and now a few Jackdaws. Have hung sheep wool collected from barbed wire and it seems to be a must for the nesting Jackdaws @Natures_Voice #WildIsles

A rather smart looking #Dipper on the River Lyn, Exmoor this morning with the water reflecting the clear blue sky. A beautiful day with lovely warm sun if out of the cold north wind.

Easy choice for my image of last week. It just has to be the #Somerset #Hares in light snow from Wednesday morning. 🌨️❄️😀 #WexMondays #fsprintmonday #APPicoftheweek @CanonUKandIE

This is shocking. Anyone who thinks 'cancel culture' is a confected right-wing trope, take a look at the material consequences of standing up for freedom of expression in the world of Scottish poetry.
Oh look! I've been on the official register in Scotland of authors and poets in Scotland available for funded readings, events, etc since 1992. But not anymore. Because I refused to sign a Code of Conduct that limits #freespeech of writers and creates a climate of censure.

We will be welcoming Anthony to our festival this year. He is playing for us at the church service, St Luke’s on 21 May 2023. Do come along and support him.
This is a wonderful initiative from Taunton School music scholar, Anthony; such strong dedication to a charitable cause, and he's not finished yet..!

#TextileTuesday Owls to left and right in the chantry chapel - and overhead for good measure. But also by my feet! A little faded perhaps, but gracefully stitched & devoted to duty still.
