These trees are the remnants of the old turnpike road. Stuart can recall there being trees both sides but they are very old and have slowly toppled over the course of time. The rise to the right is where the roman road was and to the left is the railway line. It must have been a busy place for 1000s of years but now is a quiet back water. #Wales

Is this a grey poplar do we think 🤔 #trees

Here is a worker bee with very pale yellow pollen in her basket. There are 3 other bees. One of them is a guard bee. She checks everyone before they are allowed in. They can be quite rough sometimes and always look very bossy #beekeeping

@goatsarah @christineburns you are not wrong but thats what they have said. Its going to cause a lot of grief for women who don't confirm to some peoples idea of what is feminine as well as to trans women.

@christineburns but the police have already said searches would be done by the same gender as on the birth certificate.

@bmacDonald94 great news 😁

@bmacDonald94 hope the procedure went ok Bill

@bmacDonald94 I hope it goes smoothly Bill

So in America you can have 150 pipe bombs, make threats against politicians, keep a high explosive in your freezer, and the only thing they can charge you with is having an unlicensed gun. So they let you go after your attourney successfully argues there is no evidence you are a threat

I have mopped living room, hall and kitchen. Totally pointless as it's so damp and muddy out and, between the spaniels and Stuart, it will all be dirty again soon. However, Stuart has noticed there is an issue, this is very, very rare, and is out there clearing the path to improve things.
