Could some of my gardening followers tell me what flower this is thanks 💐

Lovely afternoon catching up with best friends. We met aged 18 as new student nurses. 45 years later and the bond is still strong even though we see each other less often ❤️ #friendship

‘My wife and I were greatly saddened to learn of the death of David Hockney O.M., a giant of the world of art and painting, a Yorkshireman through and through and a dear friend and inspiration to so many. David was one of life’s true originals; one who wore his genius as lightly as those beloved yellow Crocs of his that helped brighten Palace occasions.

Hello, I’m Julia - today, the National Park has handed their socials over to me to talk about my experience of bags of rubbish, broken glass, and empty cans left scattered where I live. This is damaging, dangerous, and avoidable. If you're visiting, please respect the Dales 🙏

The world suddenly seems a lot less bright. Incredible man and an extraordinary legacy . Weren’t we lucky to have him . “LOOK, LOOK LONGER” RIP David 🚬 , go well .

Hello, I’m Julia - today, the National Park has handed their socials over to me! I’m sure you love this place as much as I do and wouldn’t dream of spoiling it by leaving bags of dog poo everywhere. So please, bag it, bin it and don't leave it to the poo bag fairies.

First night out at our new local pub! Five minutes walk from our house. Great beer and atmosphere. Planning to try the food in the next few weeks

Everyone banged on about doing “No Mow May” but nobody mentioned the following month would be “can’t bloody mow anyway because it won’t stop sodding raining for three seconds June”

Thank you for all your good wishes for Hannah who had endometriosis surgery last week. We went to see her today with treats & hugs. She ended up having her right ovary & tube removed as they were badly damaged. She is starting to feel better. Gruyère cheese twists always help ❤️‍🩹
