Tes was by my side every day for the past ten years- he formed an immediate bond with me when I brought him home from the shelter all that time ago.
I will miss him forever and he will always be a huge part of my heart. I'll see you at the rainbow bridge, Tezzy-la. Good night, sleep well. Love you.

This thing has taken money to dismantle the NHS, and fully intends on doing so.

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour.
Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people.
Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

I'm Jewish.
I condemn genocide.
I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide.
The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

It is now clear the Greens are directly challenging Reform.
People are fed up with the status quo and want change but Farage is offering them old Tory solutions and scapegoats the vulnerable.
The Greens have a real plan to lower bills, protect the NHS & cap extortionate rents.

The lack of contrition from Starmer’s current and former fans is quite something.
We warned over and over again for years that he would be a catastrophe.
You sneered, vilified and ignored those who were entirely correct.
And now you can’t even admit what you got wrong!

A wolf spider of Whinfell Forest. These tiny spiders are very abundant in patches of leaflitter.
They do not build webs - they chase their prey down with superior speed.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

So #StandingStoneSunday is a thing? Neat!
Here's a shot from Dartmoor, taken last year. I called it "Duolith" - I kinda like how the trees in the background balance the stones in the foreground.

Mam Tor was looking truly wintry after a light spinkling over 1000 feet. It falls a few hundred feet tall of being a true mountain, but it has a special place in my heart.

Out with the new superzoom for the first time - it's perfect for 90% of my photography.
Despite always having gone for fast lenses, whenever I do landscape I always stop down to f/8 or more anyway.
Just makes so much sense to carry one light lens that does it all.

New lens day! As I gravitate more to landscape, this super sharp (but relatively slow) superzoom makes so much sense for a daily carry lens.
