Sneaking back onto this godforsaken platform only in order to congratulate @AledHall on a great performance in #Tosca at @rbo_org. An excellent production of an excellent opera with superb leads in Natalya Romaniw and Bryn Terfel - and the irrepressible Aled...

This morning all I wanted to do was join Seta in this box but there wasn't room so I decided to do something positive and get the hell off this platform. I am now @sandralawrence.bsky.social. I've followed as many of you as poss but not all, I'm sure. Only returning here rarely.

Garden Historians take note! Equally valid, just fewer plants. Maybe a few chickens or pigeons?

Equal parts honoured and terrified to have the 'first article out of the box' on the new Scribehound Gardening platform, on the weird stuff I learned about horticultural history by clearing out my dad's cellar. scribehound.com/gardening/ga…

Can't quite believe I've been invited to join a most incredible team of garden writers for this truly exciting project. Posting a second time, this time with the actual link to the offer of subscriptions for a quid instead of a generic website. Soz! join.scribehound.com/gardeni…

Thank goodness, it's as charming as it was when I was small...
'When Roobarb Made a Spike', the first episode of Roobarb, was originally broadcast on this day in 1974. Thirty episodes were made - all were written by Grange Calveley, directed by Bob Godfrey and narrated by Richard Briers.

SEE another example of what #LouisDucosDuHauron proposed in 1864—his suggestion of time-lapse photography. This is called ‘The Birth of a Flower’ and was #filmed in 1910 by Percy Smith (1880-1944). Tinted. Runs 2:13
Du Hauron lived to see the Star Theatre demolition from 1901, and others I will show in other posts. The details from the LOC are listed as; 🎞️ One minute 55 seconds at 15 fps 🎞️ Biograph production № 1845 🎞️ Filmed in April, 1901 🎞️ Location: Broadway and 13th Street, NY

I am worried by this. For once @ianvisits sells this bunker short; it IS plain, but it has much of interest, not least as one of the creepiest WWII places (of so many...) one can (VERY occasionally) visit. @BrentCouncil really needs to save both bunker and building.
Historic WWII bunker faces demolition for new hotel ➡️ ianvisits.co.uk/articles/his… A WWII command bunker could be demolished and replaced with a hotel, if planning permission is granted to the building's owner.

So excited to see this out in the wild!
FOREST OF A THOUSAND EYES, my latest collaboration with the brilliant Emily Gravett, was yesterday released into the wild! In fact, Forest _is_ the wild, and is coming after you with strangling vines, giant eagles, venomous deer and malign intent! Er... in a good way?

So happy to announce that today FOREST OF A THOUSAND EYES is released! It's another collaboration with the amazing Emily Gravett, as you can tell from the wondrous cover. (On the physical book, some of those leaves have a lovely ominous shimmer...) panmacmillan.com/authors/fra…

Derrida is a totally incomprehensible French philosopher specialising in deconstruction ( no, I don’t know what that is either)..
