In April, a month after my mum died, I pinned a tweet to the top of my feed on X. I've been nervous about deleting my X account and never seeing that tweet again 😓. Then it occurred to me - I can pin it here instead, and I'll still see her whenever I log on. Miss you so much, Mum 💔

You’ll get no arguments from me 🥰

Can I please add Anne Reid and Paul McCartney? It’s more cost effective if we buy in bulk 🥰

Another friend of mine was there too, Dave. He said it was wonderful ❤️

Happy 84th birthday, Paul Simon.
(Dear Universe, please wrap him up in cotton wool, and keep him safe forever. Thank you 😟)

As a vegetarian, I’ll pass on the first two, but otherwise I’d happily eat your roasties!!

I agree! Any potato is good cooked any way. But never in lard 😳

I love watching them Chris. And I see them regularly on my local walks. I always find it quite spooky how all the other birds fall silent when the buzzards are flying around.

Nic Perrins @nicperrins.bsky.social · 2d

Gorgeous shots, Chris. We have a family of buzzards living near our park and they fly over daily - some days silently, other days squawking. I’ve never been able to get a decent photo.

I share a birthday with Neil Arthur 🥰

Helloooo 👋

Nic Perrins @nicperrins.bsky.social · 4d

It’s got a whiff of the 80s about it - and that’s never a bad thing 👍

The warms temps in the Dales this year, have thrown up a tonne of weird and wonderful beasties that I’ve never encountered before.

Today’s offering is the western Conifer Seed Bug. Not a great pic but he moved and I freaked 🤣

I hate it when that happens. Do you ever wake yourself up by dribbling into your beard?

My Tulip Tree gives the most magnificent Autumn display. Not only do the leaves go a beautiful shade of gold, they also get tiger stripes 🐅

Everyone needs to take a look at their own baby photos. We all still look like ourselves as babies. We just grow up to be bigger versions. This girl looks absolutely nothing like Madeleine McCann. It’s clearly not her 🙄
