Just in the garden sorting my French beans out and found this lad having a sleep. Its a male pale tussoc. I worked permanent nights for over 11 years a developed a massive love for moths. If you zoom in it looks fluffy like a rug 😂

A few MAN diversion photos from the early 90s. Seems quite apt with all the fog of the last few days. #aviation #photography

So I absolutely love #moths. I spent nearly 12 years working permanent nights and wow have I seen some amazing creatures. The Elephant Hawk moth is my favourite. This one was covered in a mix of spiderweb, fibre, and dust. I managed to clean it up and let it go. Hope it survived #moth #nature

I don't know who to credit for this pic but as much as I hated the Bristol VR as a kid I miss them now. This fine livery is Yorkshire buses (Yorkshire woollen) and many of my family either drove for them or served as conductors.
