Sunrise over Stockport viaduct - a candidate perhaps for the world's finest view from a hotel room?

Only 2 months until The Buildings Archaeologist is released! It's tricky to get word out online these days so a reshare would be hugely appreciated 🙂 Order details here: thehistorypress.co.uk/publication/... Tickets for the book tour here: triskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/the-building...

It's scones again isn't it?

I just read that Glen Baxter has died. His books, including Impending Gleam and Jodhpurs in the Quantocks were a big influence on me. I was into him pre-Gary Larson. A great British absurdist in the tradition of Vivian Stanshall.

So let me get this right - in Starmer's Labour Party Mandelson's ok but not Burnham.

@teilyn.bsky.social is another fascist bootlicker MAGAt.

Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway. It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything. Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄✨

Yes, it was, but they were too wrapped up in casual racism and imperialist nostalgia to notice.

How to make sure that I cannot visit the USA until at least 2029 in one sentence- Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist cunt

Opportunities to transform nature don’t get much bigger than this! We have the opportunity to conserve 340 acres (138 hectares) of biodiverse countryside surrounding the Cerne Abbas Giant, Dorset.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

In a dream last night I saw a poster for a Rick Wakeman concert and the support bands were "Slimy Kline" and "Trumpet Finger". Does anyone know if these are real bands that were somehow lodged in my sub conscious?

Just checking who's on at my local literary festival this autumn. This could be interesting.... yeovilliteraryfestival.co.uk/whats-on/all...

USA Folk, I'm pleased to report that my book Historic Building Mythbusting is available in your lands. I even refer to some real American ship timbers now in a UK building (pictured). Currently stocked by Bookshop.org, Amazon or Barnes & Noble (link below)... www.barnesandnoble.com/s/historic%2...

Motor traffic expands to fill the space available. 1% extra road mileage = 1% extra traffic. You cannot build your way out of traffic congestion.

As the author, I’m immensely proud of this report. But mainly I hope people read it and take notice. This is about the rise in ‘fake e-bikes’, and what’s driving it appgcw.org/resources/in...

"It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts me all over my body. And let me be clear, it's not about ideology. It's not about I'm right or I'm wrong. Come on. It's just about the love of life, the care of your neighbour" - Pep Guardiola

Apparently, its available on Kindle for just £3.79 during May. Good opportunity for a gander if you've not already read it... buff.ly/PaQHRsz

Today is Somerset Day. To celebrate I'm going to embrace the full Somerset experience by eating Cheddar cheese and drinking farmhouse cider while stood in the shower with some dodgy indie music playing in the far distance.

I like it a lot- got inspired myself by Laura Loomer's tweet yesterday- Young man If you're ever in Rome Young man And you're there on your own, I said Young man If you don't have a home, there's no Need To Be Unhappy (dah dah dah dah dah) - You go and stay with the

GREATEST HEADSTONE OF ALL TIME

You don’t need a huge truck to get a decent flatbed. Both a more appropriate size and far more useful considering the height of the bed. They’re also electric. Far more effective than the emotional support vehicles you see being leased as part of “company car” tax dodges.

Brilliant thread.

Paddling the Severn with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social, I was strictly told not to fall in. After what water companies have been dumping here, I didn't need convincing! Ofwat is failing badly. We need a tough new Clean Water Authority that actually holds the water companies to account.

Headline of the year so far. It’ll definitely take some beating.

Cowards. It does show however how easily the establishment in the UK would cave in to a right wing authoritarian government. Royal Society decides not to take disciplinary action against Elon Musk www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Nice! 😂👍
