#SundayMorning has arrived once again so here's our traditional start to the day, Cecil Osborne's iconic view from his window at 221, Farringdon Road Buildings of "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" from 1929. The painting is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museums

I strongly believe that British ale is a fundamental factor in our greatness. Timothy Taylor’s Landlord is one of the best.

I hope Starmer and every head of state of the NATO countries that supported the US write the strongest letter of rebuke to Trump personally for his remarks. We are no less supportive of our services than the US

Good morning, Ian @longitch & thank you, as always. #SundayMorning's seem to come around with amazing alacrity so it is good to step back & reflect from time to time. Here's one that might fulfil that role: "Wharfedale" by Walter Steggles from his post-war work. #WalterSteggles

As is my won't each week on #SaturdayMorning , here's our usual start to the day & week-end. This is "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It has always seemed to me that it epitomises the way in which one might, ideally, like to start the week-end. #BrynhildParker

Dumping on rural roadsides is reaching epidemic proportions. Potentially deadly for cyclists on unlit rural roads.
