A few people campaigning / focus grouping in Makerfield have told me that even Reform supporters have brought up that Farage going against the wishes of Nowak's family made them uneasy.

Ashton Court, Bristol meadows at their peak. Ox-eye daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare) & Common Spotted orchids (Dactylorhiza fuchsii) are their chief features but the motion and backdrop of the grasses provide equal beauty.

Grasses, Ox-eye daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare),Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor) and much more at Ashton Court meadows in Bristol.

A fantastic orchid weekend in Kent - a bit of solo exploring on Saturday, then joined @mariposanature.bsky.social on Sunday. 14 species in total. Here's a commemorative collage for #WildflowerHour #OrchidChallenge

I’ve been reading a lot about the end of the Roman republic recently, and the slide of that empire into imperial monarchy. The stamping of the leader’s face on coins, colossal statues and a reworking of the forum. But even Augustus didn’t build himself a ballroom-fortress.

The grasses in the Ashton Court meadows 😍 especially the Totter Grass (Briza media) & ALL those Ox-eye daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare) plus Common Spotted orchids - a delight for the senses.
