@profliztingle.bsky.socialThe new Prime Minister is writing a "10-year plan" for the UK. The arts & culture MUST be part of it. I've signed @campaignforthearts.org's petition urging @andyburnham.bsky.social to revitalise the arts – to revitalise the whole nation 🌱 Join me: www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/10-year-plan/

@profliztingle.bsky.socialIt’s beyond shocking that Mr Jenrick should be saying such things. Is it really the job of highly trained Marines to shoot innocent and unarmed adults and children in the sea? No, it’s illegal. The good people of Newark should give this man - this Herod- his marching orders.

@profliztingle.bsky.socialA splendid day of AGM and talks at @churchmonuments.bsky.social at Carshalton All Saints. On the macro scale, impressive gold work (Comper) and on the micro, a most exquisite enamelled late 15C brass of Margaret Gaynesford. What an outfit!

@profliztingle.bsky.socialA mosquito that size bit me yesterday, in the Gironde salt marshes. ☹️ perhaps that man had a similar experience.

@profliztingle.bsky.socialI’ve seen it several times & it’s always impressive, such bright colours. I sewed a facsimile panel which was really interesting - mostly fast couching stitch work Another impressive thing about Bayeux is the ‘liberty tree’ planted 1799 between the cathedral apse & mairie. Huge plane tree

@profliztingle.bsky.socialSo cheering… a post box ‘topper’ from Zouch, a small hamlet on the River Soar which straddles Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. After a Lent of drought, the birds are soggy with a month’s rain in 2-3 days.
@levparikian.bsky.socialReposted by @profliztingle.bsky.social250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine.
Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...
