Attention, UK stargazers: four planets will line up in the pre-dawn skies on 14 November. 🪐
Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter will be visible on the eastern horizon before sunrise. Fingers crossed for clear skies! 🌄

Some of the best Remembrance postbox toppers from around the country.
They appear quietly every November, knitted and crocheted over weeks and set out on the postbox at the end of the road.
A Tommy in his tin helmet, standing over a ring of poppies. A pair of boots laid down between two flags. A nurse wheeling a stretcher under an arch of poppies. A soldier's horse, head bowed, above a postbox buried in red. Army, Navy, Air Force and the nurses who went with them, all remembered side by side.
The colours mean different things. Red for the lives lost, purple for the animals that served and died, white for peace.
Royal Mail has said it appreciates the creativity, with one request: leave room for the post.😀

Faced with the prospect of demolition during the 1970s, we saved this charming little Lincolnshire church from that fate of destruction and, today, it is cared for and cherished by a passionate group of volunteers.

Tomorrow's pod is with @MarkNicolDM. We discuss his book Blades about SAS ops in Afghanistan. He argues that to understand what happened means examining the realities on the ground: defeating Taliban bomb-making networks, restrictive ROE & decisions made far from theatre.
