The Armada Way regeneration in #Plymouth. A very hard, unwelcoming concrete space has been softened with wildflower meadows, reed beds, and a rill. There's a children's playground and outdoor event spaces, all powered by solar canopies with battery storage. The vista down to the Hoe and Plymouth sound has been opened up #urbanregeneration #Devon

@pauloldhamsnp@mastodon.scot the Reform cllrs elected in Cornwall last year have been a complete car crash. They've split with a number becoming independents and others going home to the Tories. They're completely marginalised and marginal.

The crab apple on the village green is in blossom. It was flowering when we came to view our cottage before we bought it. I look forward to it every year. It's alive with bees 🐝 #spring #bloomscrolling #trees #nature #Cornwall
Dating advice from Sir Walter Scott:
If you're seeing someone but realise it's probably not going anywhere, don't just ghost them -
explain that your all-consuming passion for the restoration of the Stuart monarchy leaves little room in your heart for rival affections (then flounce off dramatically) ⚔️

My new bookblog - it's called 'Quite Bookish', which in time is going to become the name of my book editing business.
I took another look at S*b*a*k as a potential place to host it, but recoiled. It's such an odd platform.
In the end, I've gone for tried and trusted WordPress with my own domain.
Very pleased (and surprised) to discover quitebookish.com was available.
My introductory post tells you what it's all about.
